Why is the new ball doing so much in this year's Mens Hundred?
The 2024 Men's Hundred has been a seamer's paradise so far - but why?
We've seen Birmingham Phoenix skittled by Mohammad Amir and Saqib Mahmood - but then the Phoenix's Sean Abbott rattled through London Spirit, who were themselves victims of Southern Brave's new ball attack. You see where we're going with this? No team has been safe so far.
Ed and Charlie try to work out what on earth is going on in this bitesize episode.

Rishi Patel talks clarity when batting, learning from James Vince and that Louis Kimber knock
Ed and Charlie were delighted to sit down for a chat with Birmingham Phoenix and Leicestershire batter Rishi Patel.
Rishi talks all about his epic 41-ball ton v Northants that saw the Foxes tie, his mental clarity in white ball cricket, emulating James Vince and Sam Hain, as well as giving us the insider's view on that legendary Louis Kimber double century v Sussex.
Rishi is undoubtedly a real talent and he's certainly one to watch this Hundred - so if you want to find out more about him, you're in the right place.
