As Wisden editor Lawrence Booth says England's cricket leaders 'repeatedly lost touch' in 2014, Peter Allen looks at whether the game is in crisis.

Peter looks at criticism from the Wisden Cricket editor Lawrence Booth that England cricket leaders "repeatedly lost touch" in 2014. We hear from people involved in the grassroots game and listeners talk about what needs to be done to get more young people involved in the sport. Meanwhile an exploration firm says billions of barrels of oil could be underneath the south of England - we hear from people who might be affected. Elsewhere with 28 days to go until the General Election, Peter discusses whether a leader or a party wins an election hearing from former Labour leader Lord Kinnock and former Conservative leader Michael Howard.
