How good are India in T20I cricket? Since winning the T20 World Cup in 2024, India have taken their game in the shortest format of the game a notch higher.It seems the transition period in T20I cricket has been more seamless than in Tests for India. Three doyens of the format - Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja - retired after the World Cup triumph. However, India don't seem to miss them a lot.The coach-captain partnership between Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav has worked wonders. While Gambhir has not managed to find success in Test cricket, he has been a remarkable coach in T20I cricket. Why so?Is it time for India to think about having different coaches for different formats?In the latest episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, we also discuss the widening gap in the relationship between star players and journalists. Also, is Bazball really going to work in limited-overs cricket?Tune InProduced by Garvit SrivastavaSound mixed by Rohan Bharti

Ashwin and DJ get together to talk this week about India's 2 wins in the first 2 games against England's T20I side at Kolkata and Chennai. England are playing their first series with Brendon McCullum as T20 coach, and some of the effects of Bazball are already visible. They talk about Tilak Varma and Abhishek Sharma's heroics with the bat, as well as Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarty's good series with the ball so far. They also cover the return of key Team India test players to Ranji trophy - Rohit, Yashasvi and Pant had forgettable results, while Gill and Jadeja had memorable performances.

Yas Rana and Phil Walker discuss India's convincing victory against England in the first T20I, an England Lions century for Rocky Flintoff and Phil responds to Fox Sports, who took exception to WCM's Test XI of 2024. There's also Mel Farrell's brilliant interview with Will Smeed, as well as Mark Butcher on the start of the white-ball Bazball era and Pakistan's win against West Indies. 0:00 Intro / 2:13 India vs England / 20:19 Mark Butcher / 31:17 Phil responds to Fox Sports / 40:51 England Lions / 45:59 Will Smeed interview / 1:07:47 Outro Did you know 1/4 men in the UK suffer low Testosterone?

In this episode of the Top Order Podcast it's an England-centric view as Binksy and Jamie review England's red- and white-ball performances in 2024 and look forward to a mouthwatering 10 tests against old enemies Australia and India in 2025. The boys dissect what they want to see as Bazball disciples and look at the personnel England should and might use in 2025. There is confidence in Joe Root, Harry Brook and Gus Atkinson, but question marks surrounding Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope and the fitness of talismanic skipper Ben Stokes. With no Baldy to respond, Binksy and Jamie dream of recapturing the urn in Sydney as they forecast the year 2025. The boys also discuss the dramatic decline of the England men's white-ball side and ponder whether a partnership of Brendon McCullum and Jos Buttler can revive fortunes in an ICC Champions Trophy year.

Bazball is a term that describes England cricket team's aggressive brand of Test cricket championed by Brendon “Baz” McCullum. Lawrence Booth who writes for the Daily Mail has co-authored a brilliant account of this new phenomenon in “Bazball: The Inside Story of a Test Cricket Revolution” with Nick Hoult. In this podcast Lawrence clarifies that Bazball is not mindless slogging or fast scoring. It's also about absorbing pressure. Whereas the team cares about winning, if they can entertain the crowds along the way and put more seats in the stadiums, all the better. Lawrence is also the youngest editor of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in over seven decades. He talks about what it takes to put out a massive edition year after year and also explains the thrill of filing match reports at the end of last minute twists.

We also look back at Pakistan's turnaround against England as they spun their way to another victory in the third Test of that series.   The Black Caps' win in Pune capped off a remarkable sequence - a first Test victory in India for 36 years, then another one a week later. We discuss whether this series win is the Black Caps' finest achievement, try to break down how they came to beat the best team in the world in their home patch and heap praise on Mitchell Santner, Tom Latham, Yashasvi Jaiswal - plus much more. We then turn our attention to Pakistan, where the home side's spinners once again tangled the English batters in knots to win the third and deciding Test. There's praise for Nauman Ali and Sajid Khan, a little Jamie Smith and Saud Shakeel, big fans and questions about whether it's time for England to consider a new approach.

Test cricket is alive and well!Ed and Spriggy celebrate the week that was in Test cricket, because it was magic. New Zealand skittled India, and Pakistan conquered Bazball, and we watched it all. There's Shield action to dissect, and a failed World Cup campaign for our Aussie women. What went wrong?

In this episode of the show, we celebrate an incredible week for New Zealand Cricket that culminated in a Test win in India for the Black Caps for the first time in 36 years and a T20 World Cup for the White Ferns within 12 hours of each other. We also look back at Pakistan's bold decisions against England and how they paid off to set up a mouth-watering decider in the third Test of that series.   After opening with our thoughts, feelings and emotions as New Zealand fans, we start by discussing a White Ferns World Cup win that seemed almost unthinkable when the tournament began. It was a true team performance from New Zealand, and we highlight the key role players who played a huge part along the way, as well as focusing our attention on Amelia Kerr's remarkable few weeks. We then turn our attention to the Black Caps, who made history of their own this week by beating India in the first Test of the series - something they hadn't done for 36 years. There's plenty of praise for the bowlers - who skittled India for 46 in the first innings - the 'Rachin Ravindra is amazing' segment that has become a regular occurrence on the show over the past 12 months, as well as conversations about the toss and team selection. We also look at India's fightback, Sarfaraz's big hundred and what that means for the side going forward, Rohit Sharma's captaincy and much more as we break down this rollercoaster of a Test match.   To round out the show, we review Pakistan's turnaround in the second Test against England, which saw a host of changes that made the selection panel look like geniuses when Kamran Ghulam, Sajid Khan and Nauman Ali starred as the team surged to victory.
