What better way to mark the announcement of Sport Nation's acquisition of The Ashes than to welcome in NZ cricket great, friend of the station, and now England coach, Brendon McCullum.

The ex-NZ captain joined Scotty & Izzy to provide some insight into how his team is poised ahead of their trip 'down under' with the iconic urn on the line in Aussie - a hugely anticipated series of which Sport Nation will bring you live commentary across all five Tests.
McCullum also touched on England's pre-Ashes trip to New Zealand, his ever-evolving coaching style, and the next step in the 'Bazball' revolution.
