On IPL match day seven, Rajasthan Royals beat the Delhi Capitals in another thrilling fixture. Chris Morris was the hero for RR as they came from nowhere to steal victory at the death from the Capitals. Tom Curran was the fall guy for DC, why was he there and will he play again? Has Chris Morris paid off his enormous price tag, probably a fair bit of it? And was Tom Curran adopted? Before this match, Rajasthan Royals lost to Punjab Kings in their IPL opener, despite an awesome innings from Sanju Samson. Delhi, on the other hand, won their opener against Chennai Super Kings, with Prithvi Shaw the star of the show on that occasion.

Jack, Ross and Max discuss the day's play between SRH and RCB, with RCB taking the points to make it two wins from their first two. A first IPL 50 in 5 years for Glenn Maxwell set RCB on their way, and some questionable shot selection and wearing pitch combined to thwart SRH in their chase after they looked comfortable. Where do SRH go from here, and are RCB looking like contenders? Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @thecricketpod Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On IPL match day five, Kolkata Knight Riders took on Mumbai Indians. KKR won their first match of the season, easily brushing aside SRH, thanks to great knocks from Rahul Tripathi and Nitish rana. Mumbai, meanwhile, lost their first match of the season (as usual), so will be looking to fight back hard in game 2. Today though, Mumbai were able to come back, both in terms of the IPL, but also miraculously in the final 5 overs of the match! After recapping KKR v MI we will go on tot take a look back at yesterday's match between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, the game of the tournament so far...

On IPL match day three, Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Kolkata Knight Riders. Last year SRH made the play-offs before losing to Delhi in the semi-final, meanwhile Kolkata Knight Riders were knocked out on net run rate for the second year in a row. With Bhuveneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan leading the line for SRH, many people have tipped them as one of the favourites for this year's IPL. On the other hand, KKR fans will be hoping that their big stars (Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan, Pat Cummins, etc.) are able to finally come to the party.

Jack, Ross and Max are joined by Daniel Norcross (@norcrosscricket) to discuss the second game of the 2021 IPL (and our third attempt at a livestream) between CSK and Delhi Capitals. There was much to look at going into this game with the spotlight on Pant's captaincy, the return of Suresh Raina and two Curran brothers facing off. Sam got the better of the individual battle, but team Tom came out on top as Delhi cantered to a 7 wicket win. How good were Dhawan and Shaw and should CSK fans start panicking already?

Jack, Ross and Max are joined once again by Dan Weston to discuss the opening game of the 2021 IPL. The game between MI and RCB went down to the wire, with Harshal Patel's five-wicket haul and AB de Villier's late 48 swinging the game in RCB's favour. Are there causes for concern for Mumbai? Have RCB answered their death bowling issues? Or was it just a one-off? Follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Instagram - @thecricketpod Learn more about your ad choices.

In a first for The Cricket Podcast, we streamed the show live. We made our predictions for the 2021 IPL season. Including who we think will win, who will be top wicket taker, and who will svore the most runs. Then moved on to the questions contributed by our audience, first those from Twitter, then any comments made in the video's livechat. Finally we chose which franchises we follow in the 2021 IPL, and will all be praying that we don't get Chennai Super Kings.

The 2020 Champions, Mumbai Indians, are the last team we preview in our eight part 2021 IPL preview. They were so dominant in 2020 that the discussion about their side has transcended commentary on last year, and the great debate is now whether they are the best T20 team ever. With a team that includs: Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya- they certainly have some of the greatest players of all time. Are their spinners a weakness? Are they the best team in T20 history?

Our IPL Preview series continues with Delhi Capitals. Last year the Capitals finished as runners-up, although, in reality, they were a very distant second to Mumbai Indians. What appeared to let them down was a lack of firepower with the bat, which made their decision to pick up Steve Smith at the auction extremely puzzling. Overall though, their team is still decent, with players like Rabada, Nortje and, most notably, Rishabh Pant providing a very strong core to their squad. How will their batting line-up shape up? Will the lack of a leg spinner cause them problems? Can Tom Curran step into Kagiso Rabada's shoes?

Our IPL Preview series continues with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Last year SRH made it to the play-offs, as they found form towards the end of the tournament. Eventually they were knocked out by Delhi in the Qualifier. They have kept a similar squad for 2021, opting against mixing things up, which is understandable when your team includes Bhuvi, Natarajan, Warner, and Rashid Khan.The big news is the addition of Jason Roy, for reasons unknown. How do Roy, Bairstow, Williamson and Warner fit into one side? Do they have the best bowlers in the tournament? Jason Roy, why? why? why?

Our IPL Preview series continues with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Last year RCB reached the play-offs but were knocked out immediately. Following that, they decided to detonate their squad and have made some significant changes to their team. Aaron Finch, Moeen Ali, Chris Morris are all out, with Kyle Jamieson, Glenn Maxwell and Dan Christian coming in as replacements. On paper that reshuffle makes them look pretty good, but the game isn't decided on paper! Will Virat Kohli bat with more intent? Will Glenn Maxwell play like Glenn Maxwell? And was Kyle Jamieson a massive mistake?

Our IPL Preview series continues with the Kolkata Knight Riders. Last year KKR missed out on the play-offs despite having one of the most explosive teams at the tournament. Injuries, poor form and a dodgy action conspired to foil them, as their season never got going, and eventually fizzled out. It looks like the cast of players is there to support a good run in the tournament, but questions still remain about the fitness of Dre Russ, the captaincy of Morgan, and whether they can fit Cummins and Ferguson into the same team. Can they finally put it all together? Can their Indian players stand up? Will injuries curse them again?

Our IPL Preview series continues with the Punjab Kings. Last year the artists formerly known as Kings XI fell at the last hurdle, as their amazing comeback surge wilted in the final games. This season they will be looking to go one better, with the additions of Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith providing the bowling they lacked during 2020. This means that the Punjab Kings actually look quite good on paper, surely something will go wrong between now and the tournament- but, until it does, Kings fans should be happy! Do this team have enough to make the play-offs? Will they miss Glenn Maxwell? And will Dawid Malan get a game?

Our IPL Preview series continues with the Chennai Super Kings. Last year CSK failed to make it to the play-offs for the first time in their history, and they will be looking to bounce back in 2021, in what could be MS Dhoni's last season in professional cricket. For this preview The Cricket Podcast (Jack, Ross and Max) are, once again, joined by cricket analyst Dan Weston. With an average age of over 32, will their experience show, or is their squad past their prime? Will Suresh Raina's return lift CSK, or will the fact he hasn't played since 2019 be too big of a problem? Can the English duo of Sam Curran and Moeen Ali do anything to help turn things round?

India won the third ODI against England, to clinch the series 2-1, and conclude England’s tour of India. In a thrilling match England came up just short, despite an awesome performance from Sam Curran. The Indian bowling, led by Bhuveneshwar Kumar and Shardul Thakur kept pegging England back with key wickets throughout the innings, and the away team was unable to score as freely as they had in the second match. India showed a willingness to adapt and come away from the series with plenty of questions answered. How good is Rishabh Pant? Where did England go wrong with the bat? Which team learned the most from the white ball matches? All that, plus more, on The Cricket Podcast’s wrap-up of this ODI.

India lost to England in the second of three ODIs between the teams. Ben Stokes' awesome display of hitting was too much for India’s bowlers, with England eventually winning easily. Despite this there were positives for India, as Rishabh Pant put on a display himself in the first innings, and Hardik Pandya showed off his own ball striking ability. Why were England able to win so comfortably? How good is Jonny Bairstow? Who will win on Sunday? All that, plus your questions from Twitter, on this recap from The Cricket Podcast.

India and England move on to the ODI portion of the tour. In the first match England blew a fantastic opportunity to go 1-0 up, as India's bowlers roared back into the match, lead by Prasidh Krishna and the star of the white ball series- Bhuveneshwar Kumar. The Cricket Podcast boys (Jack, Ross and Max) go over the details of the game, and analyse how exactly this happened. How exactly did England lose from their position of dominance? How good was Krunal Pandya with the bat? And what is going on with Kuldeep Yadav?

India came from behind to take down the 5 match T20 international series, versus England. In part one the boys from The Cricket Podcast, Jack, Ross and Max, discuss how this happened. What did India learn across the series? Why are they now better set up for success? And who is winning the white ball arms race between the two nations? Later, they pick a combined India/England XI. This ends up being slightly India heavy, which reflects the series. A couple of big names miss out, and in the end everyone is worried the team they have picked is slightly underwhelming. Let us know what you think on Twitter. In part 3, they preview the ODI series. England look like they will rotate, with Parkinson, Livingstone and Topley waiting for a game. India, on the other hand, have put out their strongest XI (less Bumrah and Jadeja). What does this mean for outcome of the series? And can England learn anything now, which will help them at the 2023 World Cup? If you like our show then please subscribe on your chosen platform, and don't forget to let a friend know!

India beat England in the fifth and final T20 international between the two sides securing a huge 3-2 series win. The Indian batters put on an exhibition as they posted a mammoth total of 224. Rohit Sharma went ballistic from ball one, SKY played another blinder and Kohli held it all together. Buttler and Malan kept England in the game, until Bhuvneshwar Kumar came back and ended England’s chances. The Cricket Podcast boys are joined by ex-Sussex and Nottinghamshire pro Chris Nash to go over all of the action. How did India get it so right with the bat? How could England have bowled better?

India took on, and beat, England in the fourth T20 between the two teams to level the rollercoaster of a series 2-2! In a game that swung both ways Shardul Thakur and Hardik Pandya finally managed to wrestle the game their way, despite an onslaught from England’s Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow. Jack and Ross recap this game, India appear to have turned a corner with their strategy, and today’s performance from Suryakumar Yadav will thrill their fans around the world. The boys talk about how scary this is for everyone else, where Bumrah fits back in, and why England might look beyond Dawid Malan at number three.

India took on England in the second T20 of their five-match series. Max and Ross from The Cricket Podcast discuss how India bounced back to comfortably beat England. India were brilliant throughout; picking the right players like rockstar Ishan Kishan who impressed on debut, executing smart bowling plans and batting as a T20 team instead of an ODI team! England could not find the same fluency as Friday's game as they struggled batting first and they got their selection wrong after Mark Wood was ruled out with an injury with Tom Curran struggling to back up his £550k IPL price tag. We also discuss what England need to do next, we ask "Where's Rohit?" and wonder if the compression sleeves of Hardik Pandya, Jofra, Stokes and Sam Curran will make there way into the amateur game this season.

The Test series between India and England is over, ending in 3-1 win for India. Jack, Ross and Max get together for a review of the Test series and a look back at the performances of both teams. What was wrong with England's strategy and how badly wrong did they get their selection? How can they improve their batting against spin? As for India, are there any concerns with the performance of their top six? And do they have a selection dilemma after Axar's excellent performances? In part 2 (44mins) the boys turn their attention to the T20 series. Why does Jack think India are going to lose 4-1? Does anyone agree with that bold prediction? Finally, in part 3 (about an hour in), it's time to talk about Pollard, the PSL and Australia in New Zealand.

The fourth India vs England test match came to its conclusion on the third day as India easily beat England and secured their place in the World Test Championship final. The Cricket Podcast is joined by Birmingham Phoenix team analyst Dan Weston to review the day's play as Sundar is left stranded on 96*, England fail and fail and fail, Ashwin and Axar provide a spinning masterclass, and why England's selection policy is not fit for purpose. India's dominance was emphatic as they wrapped up an innings win against a confused and weary England side whose performances in the last three test matches have not been up to scratch.

India dominated England once again, on day one of the fourth Test, leaving The Cricket Podcast boys with a lot to review. England went with a left field selection, only picking one seamer, does that make sense on this Ahmedabad wicket? Ashwin and Axar were magnificent once again, is there anything England could have done to stop them, or were they too good? Will India finish tomorrow on 350-5?

Ashwin takes his 400th wicket, Axar wins man of the match, and Joe Root is the new Murali. Were England bad, or can they blame the pitch? Is this the end of the road for Jonny “Pairstow” Bairstow?

2021 IPL Auction reaction from The Cricket Podcast. Once again the boys are joined by Dan Weston to talk through the big news from the day. Featuring a run down of the most expensive players, discussion about some of the weirder buys, and why did nobody pick up Alex Hales? By the way, this was intended to be a YouTube only show (but then it did really well, so we decided to share it here too), so the sound quality is not as good as we'd want for a normal show.

India v England and the IPL auction are the big topics on this week’s episode of The Cricket Podcast. Jack, Ross and Max get together to discuss both topics, in an episode which is effectively two shows in one. Part one, (from 0:11) covers India v England, starting with a long discussion about the stars of the India team. Rohit Sharma bossed England in the first innings, before Ashwin took over with 8 wickets and a century of his own. England meanwhile looked clueless, can they do anything to bounce back? The match was also not without controversy, and this is a topic of debate. Will Kohli be banned for the third Test? Why were the umpires so bad? And was the pitch acceptable? Part 2, (from 1:14) covers the IPL auction. The boys are joined by cricket analyst Dan Weston to talk about the IPL Auction. Featuring an in depth discussion of each team’s needs and who they are likely to bid for at the auction.

On this episode of The Cricket Podcast, Jack, Max and Ross discuss England’s shocking victory over India in Chennai. There was little optimism prior to the first Test of this series, but England deserved their victory as they swept India aside. How did they pull this off? In part two, the boys turn their attention to the second Test. Both teams will be making changes, England to rotate, and India from a tactical perspective. How will the two sides line up for the second Test and does anyone want to change their prediction? Finally, a lot of other cricket took place last week. James Vince was heroic in the BBL, Mitchell Starc is out of the IPL and Pakistan were resurgent at home. However the big story was about the West Indies, who completed a historic win over Bangladesh.

This week on The Cricket Podcast, Jack, Max, and Ross chat about two big topics: England’s win over Sri Lanka, and the IPL franchises' retentions and releases. Part one covers England, they sealed a 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka with a second victory in Galle. Joe Root was imperious with the bat, whilst the bowling was a mixed bag during the second Test. How impressive was this series win and where does this leave England going forward? In part two (46 mins), the boys turn their attention to an off the field topic. Last week the IPL franchises announced who they would be retaining and releasing for the 2021 version of the event.

The Gabba fortress has crumbled, India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and it is impossible to kill Cheteshwar Pujara. The boys ask, how the fuck did this happen? In part two (50 mins), they turn their attention to England v Sri Lanka. Joe Root and the boys pulled off a solid win, despite a few early shakes in their fourth innings chase.
