In this special episode, we sit down with award-winning journalist and author Tim Wigmore to explore his latest book, Test Cricket: A History — an epic account of the world’s longest-format game and its remarkable 150-year journey.

From colonial battlegrounds to modern-day thrillers, Tim takes us through Test cricket’s most defining moments, forgotten heroes, and cultural turning points. We talk about:

  • Why Test cricket has always been a global game—even before globalization

  • The brutality and beauty that separates it from other formats

  • How race, empire, and resistance shaped the game's early decades

  • The influence of modern white-ball tactics on red-ball strategies

    • What the future holds for Test cricket in a franchise-first era.
