"Thank The Lord(s)"

On this special pre-winter/northern summer episode of The BYC Podcast, Dylan Cleaver joins Paul Ford mid-Test between the Blackcaps and Ireland to discuss why the hell are we playing Ireland, and is it part of the World Test Championship? (00:00)... 

Then they recap the play so far from the batting of Rachin Ravindra, Tom Blundell and Dean Foxcroft to the history-making bowling of Nathan Smith. Answer debate: What does it all mean when it comes to selections and for our chances against England at Lord's next week?
