Jack and Max are joined by TMS's Daniel Norcorss to review the latest two games in the IPL: Mumbai Indians v Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. As we approach the final stages, Mumbai are in need of a huge NRR swing, and theywere given the perfect opportunity against a hapless Royals side on a pudding of a wicket. RCB then had the chance to sneak into the top two, but somehow managed to blow it by losing to bottom side Sunrisers Hyderabad. Where does that le...

Ross and Max discuss the action from the latest two IPL games, KKR v PBKS and CSK v SRH. KKR will feel they should have got the win but a combination of bad selection, bad catching and bad umpiring meant that PBKS took the points. The day before, CSK looked in complete control against this seasons also-rans SRH, but sleepwalked into a tricky final few hours. But cometh the hour, cometh the Dhoni.

Ross and Max review the latest games in the IPL: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajastahn Royals, Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings. SRH mixed things up and finally manage to find a winning formula, albeit likely too late for their own hopes. However, their rivals will look on with interest as 4 teams fight it out for 4th spot. Delhi Capitals could have secured a playoff spot but their poor batting on a slow surface saw them succumb to Narine and co. And slow st...

Join our live reaction to Punjab Kings v Rajasthan Royals (PBKS v RR). Jaiswal started brilliantly for The Royals, as they set off in pursuit of a huge total. Deepak Hooda and Adil Rashid received some treatment before Mohammed Shami and Arsdheep Singh fought back at the death to leave things well poised for the second innings. And that innings produced one of the all time funniest conclusions of all time. As despite good work from KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, Punjab failed to chase 8 from 12 ba...

The IPL is about to restart, so the Cricket Podcast boys (plus Dan Weston) get together to preview the second half of the competition. In part one we talk about the teams from the bottom half of the tournament. Can any of the stragglers put it together and go on a run to make it into the top 4? Surely Sunrisers won't, they have been in disarray. Meanwhile KKR appear to have overpaid for some overseas cloggers, again. Punjab Kings were hotly tipped pre season, but are yet to ignite. And the Royal...

England v India has wrapped up as a 2-1 India win, or a 2-2 draw, or it hasn't wrapped up yet and they will play the final Test next year. The boys discuss this, revisit their (reasonably accurate) predictions, and talk about the deciding factors that lead to India's success. Lots of praise for Rohit Sharma, even more for Jasprit Bumrah, and an acknowledgement that Ollie Robinson did a good job. The boys also pick their combined XI from the series, does Bairstow make the cut? In part 2 (36.35) t...

England's final Test of the summer against India has been cancelled. The teams were scheduled to face off in a fifth Test, with England having the chance of levelling the series, and India shooting for a 3-1 win. Unfortunately a COVID outbreak among the Indian coaching and support staff meant that the players were unwilling to play. Jack Hope and Nakul Pande discuss the fallout from this. Is anyone at fault? Will the match be replayed? Was it the fault of the IPL? In among that carnage Yorkshire...

We preview the final test at Old Trafford, asking if both teams finally decide to play two spinners (come on Virat, play Ashwin!), if Jonny Bairstow is more important to England than the Pope, will Joe Root continue to run Robinson and A...

England v India rumbles on, with the teams heading to the Oval for the fourth Test of the series. After being bowled out for 78 questions are being asked about this India side, whilst just a week ago everyone was predicting 4-0. Do they have the mentality to bounce back and take an unassaiblable lead this week? England meanwhile are boyant! However, they will need to make changes as Jos Buttler drops out of the side for the birth of his child. Will he play Tests again, and is Bairstow really the...

England and India rumbles on, with the team travelling to Leeds for the Third Test at Headingley. England will make a lot of changes, some forced some not, with SIbley and Wood definitely out. We expect Malan and Mahmood to come in as replacements, with a possible further change if Curran drops out for Craig Overton. India meanwhile should probably keep the same XI, but may mix things up with Ashwin and Thakur waiting in the wings. Will any of this make a difference? Do England have a chance? Wi...

India took a famous victory against England in the second Test of their five match series, at the home of cricket, Lord's. Going into the final day all four results were possible, but a brilliant partnership from Bumrah and Shami gave India a commanding lead.
