  • 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.

100 years in the making – previewing the first-ever women's Test match at Lord's
Q: Why is this Lord's Test seen as such a landmark for the game?
Because it marks a long overdue milestone in women's cricket, showcasing progress in equality of opportunity and visibility, while also highlighting the ongoing challenges around scheduling and governance that have historically kept women's Test cricket off some of the sport's most iconic stages.
Remembering Sir Garfield Sobers, England's impressive ODI series win & who will be the next Test coach?
Q: What were the biggest factors driving England's head coach search as discussed?
The panel highlighted a mix of timing, availability, and the need to balance red-ball leadership with specialization in white-ball formats, with names like Stephen Fleming, Richard Dawson, Brendan McCullum, and Justin Langer discussed as potential options, reflecting both the desire for experience and the complexities of international coaching responsibilities.
How new ownership has changed The Hundred, Blast Finals Day & Danni Wyatt-Hodge joins the show
Q: What do you remember from the buildup to the tournament and the activations around it?
Wyatt-Hodge describes the sense of a big moment with numerous activations and public appearances, noting the excitement and pressure as the team prepared, while acknowledging the personal focus on family just before travel.
Lord’s Test review! Why were India so much better than England? And Meg Lanning joins the show!
Q: What makes Australia's team culture so successful in big moments?
Meg argues it comes from a deep, shared understanding of pressure, a strong internal leadership culture across multiple players, and consistent performance under stress, not just from a few star players.
South Africa stun India, West Indies eye semi-finals, and what’s next for Scotland?
Q: What has changed for Scotland since the last World Cup, and what does the next couple of years look like for them?
Scotland has become more competitive due to more international exposure and a shift toward playing regular cricket, with older players experienced by younger ones; they're focusing on more frequent high-level matches and better domestic structures to sustain progress.
