Stokes simply doesn't back down, smashing the next ball for six, bowling his 90 mph 'chin music' or taking a breathtakingly full-stretch catch at backward point.

Ben Stokes & Stuart Broad two of the greatest cricketers of all time, have come together to create their own podcast 'Round The Wicket' , to give you an unrivalled insight into behind the scenes of England's cricketing escapades home and away.  In Series 2 Stuart has taken a brief hiatus from the podcast as he readies himself for a cricketing summer and so each week Ben Stokes and Freddy will be joined by a celebrity co-host.  Round The Wicket is hosted and produced by Freddy Clode who runs Blind Dog Productions (Rig Biz, Rugby Pass, Rugby Pod, Race To The Top & Wallplug & Grommet)
