  • Superb Analysis!

    Superb analysis by Phil Walker on the England v NZ Lord’s Test! How refreshing to hear a balanced view rather than simply jumping on the bandwagon! I was fortunate to be there all 4 days and while the pitch and weather wasn’t ideal I found the game compelling and, for the first two days, exciting! Of course the wicket was unexpectedly poor, but the bowlers still had to bowl well, batters had to work hard for their runs and the fielders had to hold their catches! As was summarised it was not a p... more

  • Innings of The Ashes?

    I’m just confirming i heard it correctly, that a third innings (superb) ton by Jacob Bethell in a dead series (we also lost the test match) is being touted as the “innings of the (last) Ashes” on this podcast, by so-called experts! Personally i’d put Travis Head’s tons at Perth and Adelaide that led to victories and a series win every time! We know Bethell has bags of potential, which he’s single handedly doing his best to undo, but previous comments like “he’s going to be the best batter in the... more

  • Ollie Robinson

    An excellent review as always on the start of the county season. It did dawn on me, based on Ashes events (pre and during), what on earth did Ollie Robinson do to be jettisoned by the England management? The mind boggles!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

England’s strong start, Australia brush aside South Africa & why so many drops? With Lisa Sthalekar
Q: Lisa, this might be the first time Australia have been underestimated coming into a tournament. How do you assess their depth and how that translates to their performance so far?
Australia's depth across both batting and bowling has been a clear strength, with multiple all-rounders who can contribute four overs and bat high in the order. The challenge is determining the right balance and roles for players as captaincy and form fluctuate, but the overall quality means they remain formidable even when not at full pace.
Are people underestimating New Zealand? England vs NZ Test series preview, with Rachin Ravindra
Q: What does Ravindra say about his preparation for the England series beyond just facing the ball?
Ravindra describes a comprehensive preparation regimen that includes training at the high-performance center in Christchurch, specific practice against England's bowlers, and a focus on muscle memory and volume to translate technique into performance.
What’s England’s strongest World Cup XI after an impressive chase vs India? With Nat Sciver-Brunt
Q: Was there a point you worried about missing the first World Cup game?
Nat describes a steady return, noting they were aiming to be ready for the World Cup and that strategic decisions around his bowling role would be managed with the squad, emphasizing the ongoing progress and confidence in readiness.
What’s England’s strongest World Cup XI after an impressive chase vs India? With Nat Sciver-Brunt
