The fourth Ashes Test is on the horizon, and the boys give their thoughts on the preview. England have already named their XI with Anderson replacing Robinson and Moeen Ali batting at 3. Is that a good idea? Australia look to be sticking with Warner, but will marsh play ahead of Green?

England are 2-0 down with 3 to play, meaning they need 3 wins from 3 to win the Ashes. Things started well with wickets before lunch before Mitch Marsh went ballistic and smashed an amazing ton. England dropped a load of catches along the way, which was atrocious. A comeback from 2-0 down is a feat which hasn't happened in almost 100 years. Heading to Headingley, a happy hunting ground for them in recent years, they will look to take the first step back into the contest. We ask is there any hope...

The rain-impacted IPL final saw Gujurat Titans take on CSK with this year's two best teams demonstrating their skill on the biggest stage. The 214 posted by GT was a huge mountain to climb but the rain helped CSK get an adjustment target from 15 overs and they went for it from ball one, even with Noor Ahmed producing a wicked spell the boundaries kept coming. Conway, Rayudu and Rahane led the way, Dube found his feet and Dhoni set himself up for the limelight but the universe showed ego is the e...
