FIVE MINUTE FORTNIGHT: The perverse attitude of village cricket; the optimism of the ECB's new strategic plan; India shirking their responsibility to Zimbabwe; and what the investigation into Asad Rauf means to cricket. "The rain got heavier, gale force winds building up - and yet there was an unnatural determination on both sides."
FROM THE ARCHIVES (8'30 onwards): Bart King - the story of America's finest cricketer "He sent all his fielders but one off the pitch. The bails of the shattered stumps landed neatly at the feet of that one remaining man."
THE INTERVIEW (18'10 onwards): Vithushan Ehantharajah, freelance writer for Cricinfo and All Out Cricket "What I hope to see this summer? Ravi Bopara coming into the England test side and never looking back."
THE REVIEW (37'10 onwards): BBC Radio 5 Live's Not Just Cricket, with Graeme Swann and James Anderson "Graeme Swann's personality ended up leading the whole thing - which frankly can't be a surprise to anyone."
THE DEBATE (46'10 onwards): "Full appreciation of cricket requires knowledge of the game's past" "Where one does have an awareness and appreciation of history, that should be worn lightly."

FIVE MINUTE FORTNIGHT: The nobility and intrigue of early season county cricket; playing against the brother of an ex England captain in an Essex club game; and why Zimbabwe and Bangladesh need to pull their socks up. "In terms of mental maturity, these are two batting line ups with a long way to go" FROM THE ARCHIVES (8'20 onwards): Nasser Hussain and the 2002 Brisbane toss "By the end of day one, all optimism has gone." THE REVIEW (17'10 onwards): The Nightwatchman, Wisden's new quarterly "Neither magazine nor book, but somewhere in between" THE INTERVIEW (23'45 onwards): Nishant Joshi, editor of Alternative Cricket Almanac "There's nowhere else on earth that you can experience that kind of thing... except sometimes in the Big Bash League" THE DEBATE (44'55 onwards): Can dropping yourself ever be a sign of true leadership? "If Ricky Ponting came and played for my club side, it wouldn't make us perform any better" Recorded on 1/5/2013
