With the 80th anniversary of the infamous ‘bodyline’ series approaching, David Frith and Barry Norman look back at the recent history of test cricket and forward to its future. Can it survive as the twenty20 format of the game becomes increasingly dominant? 

David Frith is the world’s foremost cricket historian and the author of the award-winning Bodyline Autopsy.

Barry Norman is well known as a television film critic and journalist. He is also a cricket obsessive and author of The Bumper Book of Cricket, which examines every aspect of the game he loves.

Chairing the panel is Duncan Hamilton, author of Harold Larwood: The Authorised Biography and A Last English Summer.
