For many weeks, I have been thinking Jarrod has not really talked about George Headley as far as I remember in his podcasts. There comes an entire podcast on him. Great Jarrod and team. Really appreciate this.
I found it really awkward but people with greater strength and stature were always there but game was topped by mediocre men with limited physical strengths... Bradman Sachin Ponting Gavaskar etc... George Headley surely one of it's kind for that era....
Something missed was that Headley and Hobbs were by far the best bad wicket bastmen of the pre-war era, Bradman couldn't score the runs Headley could on a wet one, sticky dog, or whatever you want to call a bad wicket.

Absolute legend of the game. Cheers guys for bringing to mind this under appreciated legend!
So glad to see wider coverage and appreciation of Headley

Can you please do one about Hanif Mohammed as well from the POV of an anchor batsman for a new test team.
In his last test against Pakistan in Lahore, he came at #10 in the first innings and scored a fifty not out.
Imagine calling Joe Root the "English Steve Smith"
