battle. any sport benefiting from having a fantastic rivalry in - battle. any sport benefiting from having a fantastic rivalry in the i having a fantastic rivalry in the season certainly has in formula one. which champion do you think would benefit formula one the most? a new champion or louis hamilton again? i honestly believe both of them deserve to win it. i think the championship would be honoured to have either of them is the titleholder this season. louis hamilton going for history to become the man with the most amount of road titles at eight. max verstappen is the new guard, the next generation and could be the future formula one, going for his first. it is a very different proposition and this year has seen the most partisan crowd to we have seen in formula one for many years. and i hope it doesn't boil over and i hope the best man wins. will be speaking again in the build up will be speaking again in the build up to abu dhabi got but many thanks indeed. will be a busy sunday, that grand prix and the first ashes test will be coming to a close, if it goes the distance in brisbane. the series starts late tomorow night australia have already named their starting xi but england's captain joe root is holding off, he's got some big decisisons to make in what wll be the toughest examination of his captaincy. root�*s been talking to our cricket correspondentjonathan agnew it's very different any serious that we've encountered before. but is the same for both teams. it is an environment in which the build of this has been very unique in many ways and it will come down to how we manage, how we've managed it and who's managed it better. it's a real advantage going into the game and its where the build—up has been to radius of his best as we can. two big practice days absence before every series and for every test match. it is important that we get as much out of it is possible and most importantly from my perspective is that we mentally prepare as best as we can. fix, is that we mentally prepare as best as we can. �* , is that we mentally prepare as best aswecan. ~ ,., as we can. a few wickets of the day and is seen — as we can. a few wickets of the day and is seen match _ as we can. a few wickets of the day and is seen match for— as we can. a few wickets of the day and is seen match for the _ as we can. a few wickets of the day and is seen match for the ball -

tried to do that. they had this massive clear out as they - tried to do that. they had this massive clear out as they try. tried to do that. they had this | massive clear out as they try to deal with this racism scandal. gough has got his coaching badges but this appears to be quite a step up. dphil is a priority would be to get some structure in place that can take the plain side of things forward — do you think? he take the plain side of things forward - do you think? he wants to be unifying — forward - do you think? he wants to be unifying figure. _ forward - do you think? he wants to be unifying figure. heal— forward - do you think? he wants to be unifying figure. heal the - be unifying figure. heal the divisions of the past and yorkshire and after the racism allegations. he set his time out of the game has given him greater empathy and made him a more rounded person, but you're right. he faces a huge challenge ahead. first and foremost, he has to get a new coaching structure in place after the staff accidents and that includes a new head coach because the previous one departed. and having to talk with players of the departures and also, not the small matter of the precarious financial position that he's going to have to navigate after sponsors deserted the club and throws after the racism scandal. and as he tries to repair the counties reputation that has been battered. we heard from the yorkshire players giving his back in to gough, gough had 15 years of the club and total oneness suppose it is a counter against incurious coming after 15 years after a county council has been considered institutionally racist and some may argue that perhaps someone more independent removed from the club might have been better to completely clean brush, clean sweep. i think that is an interesting point and they'll be put to the future. the important thing is he is a yorkshire legend but he is one that is been untainted by the racism scandal and doesn't have that baggage. is a popular figure within the game and has received the backing ofjoe but also people like michael holding an anti—and or maybe that is significant. and it has met with the degree of positivity, he says he is a friend as well and so, he has the respect of all sites at the moment as this county tries to navigate its way through the bitter fallout since these allegations in the real hope here is that he is a figure, taking on the role on an interim basis at the end of the season but he is a figure that can help try to turn attention towards the future not the past for yorkshire. many thanks indeed. it was all change at the top of the premier league over the weekend, everton would love to see a change of fortune this evening. just two draws from their last 8 in the league, they are sinking fast. tonight they are at home to arsenal and connor mcnamara is there for us. well, an interesting game tonight and two teams that really could do with the victory. arsenal appeared to have steadied the ship that a rent of eight games not defeat but they've now lost two of the last three and for everton, they are looking for the first victory in the premier league in nine games. that feels a a and it hasn't been easy but the director of football has left and what you think about that. they are not performing well enough and i they are not performing well enough and i think_ they are not performing well enough and i think there is the excuse that is been _ and i think there is the excuse that is been bandied about what they did not do. _ is been bandied about what they did not do, they do have good enough place _ not do, they do have good enough place to— not do, they do have good enough place to do— not do, they do have good enough place to do better than what they are doing — place to do better than what they are doing but is the owner was taking — are doing but is the owner was taking the _ are doing but is the owner was taking the flak. a walk out after 27 minutes, _ taking the flak. a walk out after 27 minutes, there could be an interesting evening stability started badly for everton, but he has been — started badly for everton, but he has been injured for most of the season— has been injured for most of the season and how much do you attribute his absence _ season and how much do you attribute his absence through what has gone on? he_ his absence through what has gone on? he started the season well and will scoring — on? he started the season well and will scoring goals and he is a massive _ will scoring goals and he is a massive mess, but they still have of the players — massive mess, but they still have of the players are performing well in the players are performing well in the team — the players are performing well in the team is lacking confidence in the team is lacking confidence in the need — the team is lacking confidence in the need to step up tonight. a lot of mm: the need to step up tonight. a lot of young players. _ the need to step up tonight. a lot of young players. do _ the need to step up tonight. a lot of young players, do you -
