4 thousand for 3. Okay, that's a little over the top, but it represents the chasm between Zimbabwe's test cricket team and the rest. Overnight the Black Caps turned the screws on the hopelessly out classed Africans, piling on the runs at Bulawayo, at stumps NZ had extended their lead to 476, amassing 603 for the loss of 3. Centuries for Conway, Nicholls, and Ravindra, with the latter two still at the crease, represents a sound flogging after only two days of cricket. If this was softball, the mercy law would've sent them all home. The oft used phrase in circumstances such as this is ‘you can only play who's been put in front of you', which is accurate but wholly depressing when this game has been given faux test status. This should never have been the case. This should have been part of a New Zealand A tour, which it essentially is when the lineup is taken into account. The Black Caps are without a number of their go to first XI yet are still poleaxing the opposition. The match is not part of the World Test Championship which further erodes any import the game thought it had. We all understand that Zimbabwe cricket needs to be nursed along, but is this exchange benefitting them or merely serving as a reminder of how poor Zimbabwe cricket is? This series isn't helping anyone. The fresh Black Caps aren't being exposed to any clear and present threats, the older and returning players inflating their averages, essentially masking the efficacy of their input. It may pump up their tires but with little test cricket on the horizon, is there a point to it? This series should never have been afforded test status. Still, it's cricket in whites, so I'll watch it. Tragic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie and Stu look back at an incredible finish to the Test series between England and India by reviewing the final Test at The Oval. We start the show by talking about a dramatic final day, which saw Mohammed Siraj emerge as the hero for India as the visitors secured a six-run victory to level the series at 2-2. There's plenty of praise for Siraj's heart and spirit both in this game and across the five Tests, plus a discussion about Harry Brook's dismissal and the key moments of this epic match. The conversation continues with a word on India's other heroes, such as Akash Deep and Yashasvi Jaiswal, plus a look at Ollie Pope's captaincy, the injuries and the viability of a five-Test series in this packed schedule, before we try to put the overall series into context by throwing around phrases like 'Best since the '05 Ashes' like they are going out of fashion. Then, as always, the English boys look ahead to the key questions in the lead up to the Ashes.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie and Stu look back at the fourth Test between England and India, plus New Zealand's victory in the T20 Tri-Series final against South Africa. We also look ahead to the 5th Test in the UK and the Black Caps v Zimbabwe series. We start the show by talking about India's fantastic fightback on days 4 and 5 of the Test at Old Trafford, which saw the series remain at 2-1 with one match to play. There were hundreds for Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, but also some controversy surrounding the conclusion of the day's play. Ben Stokes wasn't happy then, but he'd done plenty to earn his player of the match award, taking a 5-wicket bag and scoring 100 across the course of the Test. Joe Root was equally impressive, and Rishabh Pant's bravery stood out for the visitors. We round out the India v England conversation with a discussion about potential and probable changes the 5th and final Test. To finish the show, Stu chimes in to highlight the Black Caps' unbeaten run to some T20 silverware in Zimbabwe, which culminated in a dramatic final against South Africa. With 7 runs needed from 6 balls, Matt Henry stepped up and, with the help of two fantastic catches in the outfield, closed out the victory for New Zealand.
