As you may have noticed, one of this blog's heroes is the former England cricket captain Mike Brearley.

If you want to know why, listen to the latest The Analyst podcast.

In it he talks to his former Middlesex teammate Simon Hughes about his recent book On Form, England's prospects in Australia and much else.

As ever, he is wise, humane and teaches you something about cricket and life.
