The Cricket Podcast

The 2021/22 Ashes series is underway, as The Cricket Podcast boys get together to recap day one of the second Test between Australia and England. So far in the day's play Australia have batted carefully, making England work very hard in the field. Labuschagne became the third fastest Australian to 2000 Test runs, Warner added another 50 to his collection, and only Marcus Harris failed. Eventually Warner was out, caught by Broad in strange circumstances. And England could have had Labuschagne too, had Buttler not dropped a clanger at the end of the day. England bowled well, but without a lot of threat, as Anderson and Broad returned to the team. Will they regret not picking a spinner? Will they be able to fight back tomorrow? Will an Australian ton up? Join us for the best analysis and reaction around!

The 2021/22 Ashes series is underway, as The Cricket Podcast boys get together to recap day four of the first Test, between England and Australia. In the end Australia ran out as easy winners, after England collapsed in the morning. This means they will take a 1-0 lead into the day night Test in Adelaide. England have a lot to think about. After their remarkable day 3 fight back, it took less than a session for them to collapse and lose their remaining 8 wickets. This handed Australia an easy win. Along the way Nathan Lyon picked up his 400th Test wicket and Root again failed to reach three figures in Australia. Join us for the best analysis and reaction around!

Ross and Max are slightly more cheerful today as they review the thrid day's play of the first test between Australia and England. England started the day needing to take three quick wickets, which they didn't quite manage, leaving them well behind. But finally they showed some spirit and Dawid Malan and Joe Root both ended the day unbeaten, with England 2 wickets down and *only* 58 runs behind. Is the impossible possible? Or has it just delayed the inevitable? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jack and Max are joined by analyst Dan Weston to discuss the second day's play at the Gabba in the first Ashes test. Despite forecasts there was no rain to save England and impede Australia's progress, as Travis Head's brisk century all but ended the match as a contest. Australia will head into day 3 nearly 200 runs ahead, and only a mircale will save England. How did we get to this point? What's up with England's selection? Can anything be done?

The 2021/22 Ashes series is underway, as The Cricket Podcast boys get together to recap day one of the first Test, between England and Australia. The Gabba has traditionally been a happy hunting ground for Australia (India aside), so they were confident going into the match. And things quickly disintegrated for England, as they collapsed before lunch, to hand Australia a massive early advantage. Where was Burns going? Why is Cummins so good? Can rain save England?

The Cricket Podcast bring you their (belated) Ashes preview. Jack and Max take a look through the teams announced for the first Test, assessing which England players they are confident will perform, and which Australians are most scary. Will Root to do the business down under? Or will Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, and the rest of the gang inflict a lot of pain on England over the next 6 weeks? Then (approx 30:00) we talk about the bigger news of the week, as Ajaz Patel picks up the third 10 fer in the history of men's Test cricket. He was supreme, but Agarwal and India had way too much for the rest of the Kiwis. Oh, and Ashwin reviewed a bowled!

Max and Ross review the rollercoaster journey of the 1st Test Match between India vs New Zealand. Shreyas Iyer impressed on debut and has surely taken Rahane's spot for the next Test. The spin trio of Axar, Jadeja and Ashwin took 17 wickets between them and came within one ball of victory but the grit, determination and talent of the Kiwi's we have grown accustomed to was in there yet again as the sun came down on the fifth and final day. We also provide an update on Pakistan who are in control against Bangladesh whilst West Indies are struggling against Sri Lanka. The guys also look at the IPL retentions for all the sides, pick apart who's done well and who's failing miserably (Sunrisers!). Rashid Khan and KL Rahul are mentioned aplenty, who is on the decline and what should the franchise's retention strategies be?

In part one of this episode we talk about the cricket over the last week. India have been taking on New Zealand in three T20s, winning them all and setting up their top flight Test series up very well. Can the Kiwis do anything away from home to surprise the Indians? We also chat about the crazy final over between Pakistan and Bangladesh, in a match which went down to the wire. In part two (29:00 mins), we talk about how the cricket world went into meltdown this week as Australian Cricket spiralled into yet another scandal.

It transpired that in 2017 he had been investigated, and cleared by Cricket Australia, but following the revelation he felt his position was untenable. We also discuss Australia's World Cup win and what that means for Australian cricket fans. And we chat about the Ashes squads and make some tentative early predictions.

The T20 World Cup Super 12 has reached the semi-final stage and this was game determined who face New Zealand after they beat England yesterday. The Cricket Podcast (Ross) is joined by Dan Weston to talk and slightly cry about the second semi-final, Australia v Pakistan. Pakistan were unbeaten in the tournament but this was a game too far as the ruthless bowling and fielding we'd seen fell apart. Hassan Ali dropped Wade at a critical moment after being whacked round the ground and Stoinis and Wade got the Aussies home. Babar Azam picks up the pieces and Aaron Finch has the chance to go out with a trophy. Join us for the best analysis and reaction around!

In this morning's 2021 T20 World Cup Australia blitzed bangladesh, winning out comfortably. This leaves the Australians in prime position to qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. It also means that Bangladesh lose 5 out of 5, which is sad. The Cricket Podcast discuss all of this, bringing their analysis and reaction to events. Later on Sri Lanka took on West Indies in a must win game for the men in maroon. Sri Lanka piled on the runs and the West Indies ageing line up weren't able to chase it down.

India v Aghanistan if the big game today, at the T20 World Cup. India need a convincing win to rebalance their Net Run Rate and give themselves a chance of qualification. A win for Afghanistan will eliminate India from the T20 World Cup, and leave them on the brink of qualification. The Cricket Podcast discuss this, and the earlier game, bring reaction and analysis to the tournament. In the end India crushed Afghanistan, winning by so far I wrote this with over 10 overs to spare. Earlier in the day New Zealand completed a reasonably comfortable win over Scotland, thought they will have hoped for more. This win leaves them with a simple equation in their remaining matches, win 2 and guarantee qualification.

England took on, and beat Sri Lanka, in their fourth game of the 2021 T20 World Cup. Jos Buttler smashed a ton, as he batted through the innings in fine style, destroying the Sri Lankan bowlers at the death.

The 2021 T20 World Cup continues with a double header as England play Australia in the evening, after South Africa face Sri Lanka in the morning. The Cricket Podcast cover both matches with their reaction and analysis of the contests. The England v Australia contest could decided the winner of Group 1 as both sides go into the contest with a record of played 2, won 2. Will Warner maintaing his form, or will England prove a step up? Can Morgan's men win again virtually seal top spot, and put themselves in a great position to win the T20 World Cup? In the earlier game, both Sri Lanka and South Africa will be desperate for a win. The loser will almost certainly be eliminated, whilst the winner will have a slim chance of catching second place. And, because we had a day off yesterday we haven't covered the game of the tournament so far. As Afghanistan and Pakistan thrilled us all in the game of the tournament so far. Pakistan's Asif Ali was key as his side beat Rashid Khan's Afghanistan to put themselves in full control of Group 2. And there will be a bit of chat about India tomorrow. Gonna be a packed show!

Today at the T20 World Cup, Australia overcame a Sri Lankan side that promised much but fell apart with the ball. Sri Lanka set a competitive score in the 150s but Australia's opening duo of Warner and Finch rolled back the years to chase it down with ease. Chameera and the other Sri Lankan quicks lost the plot, as Stoinis saw the Ausseis home with overs to spare. And, after all of that, Jack and Ross have time to discuss the IPL. The BCCI released their retention rules this week, so the pair debate the impact this will have on the IPL and what they think this will mean for the tournament.

In the later game Pakistan beat New Zealand. Pakistan were on a massive high going into this one, having overcome their arch-rivals India in their first game. New Zealand, meanwhile wanted to start their T20 World Cup with a bang, in a group which is sure to be extremely competitive.

The Cricket Podcast bring their analysis and reaction from this game, as stars like Babar Azam and Virat Kohli face off. It may only be the fourth match of Round 2, but it is fair to say that India v Pakistan may be the bigest game of the 2021 T20 World Cup. India have been fantastic in their warm-up matches, whilst Pakistan's preparations have been disrupted by cancelled tours. Both teams will have a point to prove as they go for the win, and try to claim bragging rights from this rivalry. As it turns out, on the day Pakistan had too much for India, as a great spell up top, from Shaheen Afridi put India on the back foot. Depsite a fight back from the Indian side, Babar Azam and Rizwan were able to lead Pakistan to a 10 wicket win, in a result which will send shock waves round the cricketing world.

The T20 World Cup kicked off on Sunday, with two Group B fixtures; Oman vs Papau New Guinea and Bangladesh vs Scotland. We are joined by Scouting Cricket's Ronan Alexander to understand how Scotland upstaged Bangladesh causing the first upset of the tournament on the very first day and we reflect on an impressive 10 wicket opening victory for Oman over Papau New Guinea. Scotland and Oman both played with positive intent, getting Scotland out of jail when they were 53-6 whilst Oman's net run rate was boosted rather nicely. Papau New Guinea looked starstruck and it was an unfortunately silly run out that saw a promising middle order stand crumble. Bangladesh let complacency creep into their game and their lack of firepower with the bat saw them flail.

Chennai Super Kings overcame the Kokata Knight Riders to win the 2021 IPL final. In fine style CSK dispatched their opposition, posting a mammoth before strangling the KKR innings in the middle overs. Chennai Super Kings posted an intimidating total of 193 thanks to Faf Du Plessis' great knock. Narine was the only bowler to produce any magic for KKR on this occasion, as Morgan's, Kolkata Knight Riders, bowlers were sent round the park by Moeen and Uthappa. After a good start in the chase KKR were unable to keep up with CSK as eventually Shoni's boys ran away with it. Make sure to hit subscribe and follow the links below to support The Cricket Podcast.

DC lost qualifier one, as Dhoni rolled back the years, to punish Tom Curran's final over.

In the second match of the IPL play-offs Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the ELIMINATOR. The Cricket Podcast record a live show to cover the action, providing analysis and reaction to the contest. RCB finished with 9 wins in the group stages, good for third place overall, one place above KKR. This made them slight favourite for this match, but around the halfway stage they had become bogged down with Bharat and Kohli struggling to find the boundary. Will they be able to set a competitive total, to set up a final for Kohli's final match as captain? Will specialist Captain, Eoin Morgan, finally score some runs? Are KKR's spinners too good?

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 leave things as we head into the final four fixtures? Who do we think will make it? And what are the white things on Jack's headphones? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 starters Mumbai Indians finally got started, but had to leave it late against PBKS with Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard blasting them over the line. Learn more about your ad choices.

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 balls with 8 wickets in hand.
