The 2021/22 Ashes series is continues in Hobart. England can no longer be whitewashed, which is good, and will now hunt for their first win in Australia since Dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Following a day 1 dominated by Australia, do England have any fight left?  The answer to that was not really, as wickets fell all through the day, and they were bowled out with another deficit in excess of 100 runs. Australia are batting again, and look to be building a strong lead. Surely this will be 4-1 Will joe Root finally get a ton in Australia? Will Scott Boland do more Scott Boland things? Is Sam Billings the answer? Our Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecricketpod Our channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1nj...

India's search for an away win in South Africa is in the balance as another thrilling day of test cricket. There was everything, excellent bowling from South Africa's seamers with Rabada on red hot form, Pant smashing only a hundred he could manage whilst India lose their minds with an overturned DRS decision. Kohli and his siege mentality approach rises up but will it be enough to summon a win for India to complete the Australia, England and South Africa sweep?

The 2021/22 Ashes series is continues in Sydney. England are already in a situation where all they are playing for is pride, but they will fight hard to try and avoid a whitewash. Australia, meanwhile, are hunting another 5-0. Australia declared late on day four to leave England a total of 388 to win.  Zak Crawley set off in fine style as he raced to 77, however, at the other end, wickets were falling. That is until Stokes and Bairstow got together again to slow Australia down and bring the draw into the match.  With things looking safe Pat Cummins brought himself on to bowl a magic spell, ripping into the England lower order. Boland continued his insane start to Test cricket taking the wicket of Bairstow, before Leach and Broad inched England towards the draw. And, despite a late Steve Smith intervention, they pulled it off, 9 wickets down with Jimmy Anderson playing out the final over. England SURVIVE! Join us for the best analysis and reaction around!

England went into day 2 hoping to keep Australia to a middling total, but an excellent comeback century helped move Australia to a score of 416/8d. Broad's 5-fer kept England just about in it, who had 5 overs to negotiate before the close of play - which they did, by the barest of margins - leaving them with the task for batting as long as they can on day 3 and hoping the rain does the rest. How will they get on? We are pleased to announce that our 4th test recaps are sponsored by Serious Cricket (https://seriouscricket.co.uk/)!
