In line with ICC's goal of having one tournament for each format of the game, the World Test Championship is a bi-ennial tournament to find the best test team in the world. Earlier attempts to hold this tournament had failed, this is the first time a team will be declared as "World Test Champions". India and New Zealand go head-to-head in the first World Test Championship final to be held at the Ageas Bowl from 19th June 2021. To understand the signficance of this event and analyse the teams, we speak to Chetan Narula. Chetan Narula is a well-known sportswriter/journalist. He was written on cricket, F1 and football at various avenues not only in India but also in USA and UK. He also worked as cricket commentator (voice) at ESPN and has authored multiple books on Cricket and Formula 1. In this episode, we talk to Chetan about the significance of the tournament and its history. We also do a deep-dive of the strengths and weaknesses of each team. We also look at how both teams have evolved and flourished in the last few years and end with Chetan giving us his predictions on the game.

The New Zealand cricket team's bid to win the World Test Championship looks set to get under way under the threat of some grim spring weather in Southampton.The one-off, five-day test match against India starts on Friday evening NZ time and the UK's Met Office is currently predicting light rain and moderate breeze around Southampton's Ageas Bowl for the duration of the event.However, the weather in the days leading up to Friday could have an even greater impact on the contest than any stretches of disruption to play during the match itself.The Met Office has issued a "Yellow warning" for the wider Southampton region which lists a number of ominous weather possibilities such as "a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail and strong winds".This weather warning has been issued for the two days leading up to the match, as well as the opening day, a period traditionally crucial within the process of pitch preparation.Simon Lee, the groundsman tasked with preparing the 20m of clay and soil that will help decide which team is the best-of-the-best in test cricket, is hoping to unveil a fast, lively pitch but this current forecast may affect that plan.On Monday, Lee told Cricinfo.com that the weather was looking good, but he may not have looked further on from Wednesday when sunny skies give way to storms."For me personally I just want to get something out that has some pace, bounce and carry in the pitch. It can be a hard thing to do in England as the weather doesn't help us most of the time, but the forecast in the build-up is good with a lot of sun, so we are hopeful that we'll get some pace and a hard pitch without over-rolling it and killing it," Lee said.With covers now expected to take their place over the pitch throughout the day before the match, there is now the potential for moisture to make its way into the surface, creating conditions that will most likely make batting a much harder proposition. However, Lee says there is hope in the fact the pitch itself has the capability to dry out fast, even if rain is a continuous threat."The pitches dry out very quickly here as we do have some sand mixed into our cricket loam, which helped it hold together when the pitches were re-laid some 10 years ago."There is no doubt that damp, gloomy conditions - the kind commonly faced in New Zealand - favours the Black Caps.On New Zealand soil the Black Caps have lost only five of 25 test matches against India, winning 10 of those. While in the more hot and humid conditions of India, the Black Caps have won just two of 34 tests. 

In line with ICC's goal of having one tournament for each format of the game, the World Test Championship is a bi-ennial tournament to find the best test team in the world. Earlier attempts to hold this tournament had failed, this is the first time a team will be declared as "World Test Champions".

Nick Knight is joined by Adam Collins and Niall O'Brien to preview the World Test Championship Final between India and New Zealand at The Ageas Bowl from June 18.

Greig tells us about plans for the summer, his hopes for crowds being allowed in and the importance of engaging the next generation of cricket fans and their families. In the build up to the recreational season we are keen to focus on even more Hampshire clubs.

With over 300 games and 10,000 runs to her name, Charlotte Edwards led England to a World Cup double and Ashes win, all in 2009. She truly is a legend of the game - what she's doing talking to us we don't know, but we absolutely loved talking to her! We chatted to current Southern Vipers Head Coach Charlotte just after training at the Ageas Bowl one night in early January. We'd tapped up #friendsoftheshow Charlotte Taylor and Emily Windsor for gossip, and we did get one cheeky nugget to ask, but the truth is there was precious little dirt - Charlotte is a keeper! We chat about training through COVID, starting her England career wearing culottes, playing in boys and mens teams growing up - and getting more abuse from their parents than the players themselves. We also discuss the future of women's cricket and how it looks bright given the introduction of professional contracts for domestic players in 2020. We even talk about the gut-wrenching moment Charlotte was axed from the England squad, 12 months before a home world cup in 2017, a competition her ex-team mates would go on to win. We've chatted to so many amazing sports people throughout the last year or so, but Charlotte truly is a giant of her profession and an inspiration to talk to.
