Season 19, Episode 38: We've learned in our time it's impossible to avoid investing in some players' stories more than others. For us, one of those has been Essex and England seamer Sam Cook. When he was picked for his Test debut, it was a triumph for everyone who believes that forever hitting the same spot while nipping it around, at a decent clip without blowing up the speed gun, is worthy. It's what this guy has been doing from the moment he arrived in the pro game as a teenager, doing it in all conditions for his county; he banged the door down for that Test cap. As it turned out, his Trent Bridge audition wasn't enough to play a starring role through the remainer of 2025, but as you'll hear in this chat, he's determined to hit the ground running to give himself every chance of this being his year when the season begins on Good Friday.
