Our hopes for 2023 and how cricket's laws are actually made

Phil Walker, Ben Gardner and Yas Rana react to the biggest stories of the last week, from Rishabh Pant's fortunate escape after a horrific car crash in India, to doubts over Babar Azam's captaincy and the latest batch of England Lions squads.

The panel also discuss the commentary around a controversial week in the Big Bash that saw Adam Zampa and Michael Neser produce moments in the field that weren't to everyone's liking. Ben chats to Fraser Stewart, the head of cricket at the MCC, about the process behind putting together the laws of the game.

Mark Butcher joins the show late on to share his hopes for the game in 2023.
