Earlier this week we asked for questions prior to recording our T20 World Cup preview show. We received sooooooo many, so many in fact that we thought we'd be best served releasing a show where all we do is answer them. Jack and Ross are on the mic for this episode, as we discuss everything from toss bias, to who has the best middle order, to our predictions for biggest disappointment. Big thanks to everyone who dropped us a question, we had a great time answering them! Get 20% OFF @manscaped + ...

On this episode of The Cricket Podcast the boys talk you through the first stage of the T20 Cricket World Cup. 8 teams make up the group stage of the tournament, split into two groups. We review each team, talking you through star players, their tournament prospect, and which famous person represents them best. We also talk about the Buttler controversy. Should he have appealed to get Wade out? We think probably, but don't really understand the Twitter backlash. Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shi...

A packed show featuring a whole host of white ball mayhem. Starting off with a big discussion about the Mankad in Saturday's fixture between the English and Indian women's sides. Was it a fair thing to do, or was it the cowards way out? Then the boys discuss the Pakistan v England series. It has been a cracker so far and is poised well at 2-2. However, England really should have been 3-1 up, as they collapsed to lose a game they had basically won. How did they lose? Finally we talk India. The bi...

Dan Weston joined the podcast to talk all things T20. Starting off with England, who returned to Pakistan for the first time in 17 years this week. They are 1-0 up in their 7 match T20 series and already there are some talking points. Why are Pakistan so one dimensional? Which England batter is a potential AB de Villiers? And is Luke Wood the next England T20 star? In part two they turn their attention to India v Australia. In a high scoring match Australia ran out winners as the India death bow...

England destroyed South Africa in the final Test of their three match series. Wrapping the game up in 150 overs. Was this because they are the best cricket team ever? Or is it because they were playing on a heinously bad cricket pitch? In the Asia Cup Sri Lanka claimed the trophy. They played magnificent cricket through the tournament, and easily dispatched a poor Pakistan in the final. And, some guy called Virat Kohli scored a ton. Is he back?

It was a busy weekend in cricket as England bounced back against South Africa to level their series 1-1. Then on Sunday India beat Pakistan in cricket's biggest match. Ben Stokes and Ben Foakes were the heroes for England as they helped the home team pile on a huge target. Wickets for Robinson, Anderson, Stokes and Broad made relatively easy work of South Africa as England wrapped up the win within 3 days. Pakistan struggled with the bat v India, and posted a total well below par. Although India...

Bazball returns to Lord's, but it was not a happy return. South Africa ran out clear winners as they were just too good for England. They bowled fast, accurately, and moved the ball too much as they won by an innings.

England levelled the series against India at 1-1. Taking the ODI series to a decider. After England stuttered to a sub-250 score India looked well on top, however record bowling figures for Reece Topley stopped them in their tracks.

In the first ODI between England and India, Jasprit Bumrah stole the show. Taking the best match figures v England in the format since 2003 he blew away the England top order, and then the lower order as the hosts were skittled for just 110. India knocked it off very easily, to go 1-0 up in the series. And everyone was left a little short changed.
