On this episode of The Cricket Podcast the boys cover all the Test cricket currently happening in the world. First up, and joined by Cameron Ponsonby in Antigua, they talk about England's tour of West Indies. Was a draw a fair result? Was this progress for England? Did Root disrespect the men in maroon? Later they talk about Australia in Pakistan, they appear to be in a great position, but did they need to bat again. India were also in action, versus Sri Lanka, although a dubious pitch meant that didn't last very long. It probably only sped up the likely result though, so maybe that's a good thing. And finally they cover England women in New Zealand for the World Cup. Three successive defeats has them staring down the barrel of the gun of elimination.
