Slow over rates, fixed once and for all

Season 10, Ep 10: After much hand-wringing from us over poor over rates, the time has come to step back from the flame and take a closer look at what is happening, why it is happening and how it might be fixed. Andrew Samson, the BBC's master statistician/historian, joined us for part of that chat. Later, we worry about the state of India's women's team before finishing with a thoroughly wonderful story from South London where women and girls players are being looked after like never before.
