This episode is on Joe Root's captaincy, so I got on someone who has been following him every step, Rory Dollard. We talk about the narrative, England's lack of batting, the cheeky-chappy persona, his best period in charge, the many obstacles he had, what his strengths and weaknesses were in captaincy and how the blazer changes the people who wear it.
