The Cricket Podcast

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 big topic is King Kohli, but just how much of a King is he? Also, we say like 3 times Matt Roller is going to be on the show, that isn't true. He will be on next week.  Our Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecricketpod Our channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1njF-8tUuQVbTZVyUaoBcQ/join Our website: www.thecricketpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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 bowlers collapsed and allowed Wade to sneak off with the win. Bhuvi is becoming a particular problem for India in this role, but is there anything they can do about it? Finally they chat about the SA20. Dan gives his thoughts on the teams and the top buys in the auction, and Jack chimes in about Temba Bavuma's rejection.  Our Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecricketpod Our channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1njF-8tUuQVbTZVyUaoBcQ/join Our website: www.thecricketpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

Finally, the boys recap The Hundred. Ross was at finals day, did he have a good time? How was the second season of the tournament overall? Was it a success?

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 did not canter to the target, Hardik Pandya came through at the death to guarantee them the win.  Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code CRICKETPOD at MANSCAPED.com! #ad #manscapedpod Our Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecricketpod Our channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1njF-8tUuQVbTZVyUaoBcQ/join Our website: www.thecricketpod.com #ENGvSA #TestCricekt #CricketPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Anderson and Broad lead the charge for England on day one of the second Test between England and South Africa.
