In a four corner show The Cricket Podcast cover all the week's big cricketing stories.  In part one: India have been playing and beating West Indies. Who has been the stand out performers from that series? They have also announced Rohit Sharma as Test Captain. Do we think that was a good call?

And in part three: we discuss the PSL. Including Sohail Tanvir v Ben Cutting, Babar Azam's annus horribilis and who can make the play-offs.
