Episode notes
Cricket Dressing-Room Greeting Hierarchy
- Jimmy describes a dressing-room greeting hierarchy where some players get full hugs and others get handshake variants.

- England's strengths are early wickets in the powerplay and adaptable aggressive batting.

- That adaptation explains past success and is what they must rely on going forward.
