England hammered Zimbabwe in their first Test match of the summer. Although Zimbabwe managed some impressive batting in spells, ultimately England had too much for them and the end result was a thrashing. In the IPL, CSK and Gujarat Titans completed their group stage, as did Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. What did we make of the action, is the top of the table wide open?

Henry Moeran is alongside Test Match Special's Daniel Norcross & Nikesh Rughani to discuss how Jos Buttler has returned to form for Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Is he more confident now the pressure of the England captaincy isn't there? How can his form help the Titans go for IPL glory? What's been the response to Jacob Bethell's 28-ball 50 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Plus, does MS Dhoni need to call it a day?BBC commentator Scott Read joins Henry & Daniel to discuss Lancashire's start to the season which has seen them draw all four of their matches. Can the groundsmen and women do something to help the side out? Will Shoaib Bashir's County Championship struggles bring questions around who will be England's starting spinner? And will the injury misfortunes of Jordan Cox cost him his England selection?
John Maytham speaks to Khalid Galant, CEO of the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS), following the news that Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for a recreational drug.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie and Stu look back at week 6 of IPL 2025, which saw the top 7 sides break away, Vaibhav Suryavanshi score a 35-ball century, Mumbai demolish Rajasthan, KKR win a final-ball thriller, Punjab secure a crucial two points against LSG, England name their first Test squad of the summer, and plenty more! We start this week by talking about Sunday's double-header, which saw KKR seal a nervy 1-run victory against RR to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, and Punjab Kings take a big step towards the semi-finals with an impressive victory against LSG. We spend a long time discussing Vaibhav Suryavanshi's cover drive, as well as the skill and quality of Arshdeep Singh as the battle for the Top 4 heats up. From there, we move to Stu's claim that this tournament is tracking towards a Mumbai Indians v Gujarat Titans final. Ryan Rickelton joined Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav in the runs this week, while Trent Boult continues to take wickets alongside Jasprit Bumrah. For GT, it's the top 3 of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler who continue to shine alongside their balanced bowling attack led by Prasidh Krishna. We discuss how IPL form could lead to Test opportunities, and whether the upcoming match between these two sides could be a preview of the big dance. One side who haven't been flying high in 2025 is Sunrisers Hyderabad, and despite their tiniest of tiny chances of sneaking into the playoffs, we decide it is time to bite the bullet and discuss what went wrong this season. The short answer is everything, but without Baldy there to defend him somehow the conversation turns to whether Pat Cummins is a marquee player in T20 cricket and how SRH could look to improve their bowling attack in 2026. We round out the show by talking some Test cricket, thanks to England naming their first squad of the summer to take on Zimbabwe in a one-off fixture. The boys evaluate the squad, noting Ben Stokes on the comeback trail, an injury to Jordan Cox, a potential debut for Sam Cook, Shoaib Bashir's inclusion and what bearing any of it could have for an exciting summer to come.

6 games to discuss on this episode of the podcast, featuring all 10 teams in the 2025 IPL. The big movers are Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans who are cruising away at the top of the table. Elsehwere, Virat Kohli and RCB are still going strong after their double header v Punjab Kings. And Dhoni's boys, CSK, continue to suffer.

In this episode of the show, Raj, Baldy, Binksy, Jamie and Stu look back at week 4 of IPL 2025, which saw a host of close matches, a few low scores, highlights from Jos Buttler, Mitchell Starc, Yuzvendra Chahal, a debut for 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and plenty more. We start this week by talking about the remarkable debut of Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the Rajasthan Royals. There's talk about what we were doing at 14 and the confidence of youth, but also about what a missed opportunity this week was for RR to get themselves back into the tournament now that Yashasvi Jaiswal is firing. From there, we bounce around from the chances of the Mumbai Indians to go on a winning streak, CSK doubts, super overs and close games, Mitchell Starc yorkers and RCB's Josh Hazlewood tactics. There's also praise for Jos Buttler and the way he's adjusted to life at the Gujarat Titans, excitement from the Auckland studio about wrist-spinners and Yuzvendra Chahal in particular, before we start yelling at clouds about robot dogs, obscure applications of the laws of cricket involving Heinrich Klaasen's wicketkeeping gloves and we update our tournament winner predictions as the tournament passes the halfway mark.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at week 3 of IPL 2025 through a stock market lens. Who are we buying? Who are we selling? And what are we watching with our fingers poised ready to pounce in the coming weeks? We start this week with an injury update - and it's not been good news both on the field for the Kiwis Lockie Ferguson and Glenn Phillips, and in the podcast studio, with almost all of us suffering from one ailment or another. Once things do turn positive, it's the Gujarat Titans who are first to receive praise - in particular Sai Sudharsan and the consistency he's shown throughout the tournament so far. We also talk about Punjab's Indian core and the golden duck to century turnaround for Priyansh Arya. Dr Jamie takes us through the mindset needed to succeed across a long tournament like the IPL, in which you're bound to fail along the way - perhaps more often than you do succeed. Next we talk about the Sunrisers Hyderabad after Abhishek Sharma's outrageous 141, which saw them chase down almost 250 and maybe kick-start their turnaround. Is it time to load up on SRH stock? Or are there still worrying signs? Things get dark when discussion turns to CSK - the intent has disappeared, no one is scoring runs and not even MS Dhoni cameos can really get the crowd excited any more. Can they turn it around? Or is it already time to sell all our stock despite it reaching an all-time low? To round out the show, we detour briefly to talk about Harry Brook's appointment as England captain, we talk Digvesh Rathi's celebrations, Vipraj Nigam establishing DC's spin trio & Nicholas Pooran's six-hitting prowess as LSG continue to impress. We expect to be back in your feed later in the week with more IPL coverage.

Chennai Super Kings have humiliated themselves again, as their IPL 2025 season goes from bad to worse. We have to ask, is this the end of an era for CSK and MS Dhoni? Earlier in the week we saw RCB get taken down by Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals. We'll be talking about all that and previewing the weekend's IPL action.

In this episode of the show, Raj and Stu look back at two midweek games: Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans. We start by discussing the most recent game, which saw Gujarat spoil Raj's return to our IPL coverage with a dominant win in Bengaluru. Mohammed Siraj knocked the top off the RCB batting lineup and despite a recovery through the middle and a messy fielding performance from GT, it turned out that 169 wasn't close to enough. Sai Sudharsan set the platform for GT in the powerplay, before Jos Buttler's 73 guided them home. Next we move to Punjab's impressive win against LSG. There's talk about Shreyas Iyer's excellent run of form, PBKS's Indian core doing the business, LSG's absences, Nicholas Pooran's ball-striking and whether it's time to start worrying about Rishabh Pant's lack of runs. To finish, there's a quick look ahead to the upcoming SRH v KKR clash - a 2024 final rematch that now shapes as an important fixture for different reasons in 2025. We'll be back in your feed on Monday with our weekly IPL Buy/Sell/Hold show.

In our series of team previews for IPL 2025, Charbel Coorey (Australia fan) and Nash Sant (India fan) analyse Gujarat Titans (GT). Can Gujarat qualify for the playoffs and then go on to win their second men's IPL title?
In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at the opening game of IPL 2025, before diving into team by team previews of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. Recorded on Sunday 23 March, we start by discussing game 1 of the tournament, which saw RCB record an impressive victory against the defending champions KKR. New recruit Josh Hazlewood was excellent, as well as Krunal Pandya, as RCB restricted Kolkata from 100-1 to 174-8. Then it was Virat Kohli, Phil Salt and Rajit Patidar who took charge as the away side cruised to a comfortable victory in the end. Was that the perfect formula for RCB? Will they be able to repeat it enough times to make the playoffs in 2025? For the Delhi Capitals, there were questions around how much Harry Brook's decision to withdraw has left them short on options, plus a chat about the potential impact of spin duo Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Gujarat on the other hand have a big-name Englishman in the squad in the form of Jos Buttler, but do he and Shubman Gill have enough batting support to help out their well-balanced bowling attack? Punjab have completely overhauled their roster, with Ricky Ponting bringing in a host of his fellow countrymen to join Arshdeep, Prabhsimran and Shashank Singh, plus a new captain in Shreyas Iyer. Will the overseas matchwinners bring enough consistency to lead this team to the knockout stages? And will the young Indian talent like Priyansh Arya, Suryansh Shedge and Nehal Wadhera perform well enough to give Punjab a wide range of options for their bowling attack? For Lucknow's not-just-regular giants, their strategy seems to have been to stack the batting with overseas talent and rely on a quality local group of seamers to assist Ravi Bishnoi with the ball. But have injuries to Mayank Yadav and co. already crushed their title dreams? To round out the show, the boys do their best to predict some playoff teams and give their pick for who will be lifting the trophy at the end of May.

David Warner is back for the Delhi Capitals, but they need a lot to go their way in the final week Lucknow Super Giants have fallen out of the top 4 after a crushing loss against SRH Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan provided a rare highlight for the Gujarat Titans in 2024 Should Team India be worried about the form of Mumbai Indians' stars Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya?

Two games for this episode, featuring a Virat Kohli masterclass v Punjab Kings. The RCB batter was imperious as he blasted 92 runs at almost 2 a ball, a statement of intent by Virat Kohli before he heads to the World Cup with India. Punjab Kings have now been eliminated, and Dan Weston joins us to talk about their season and where it went wrong. Later in the show we talk CSK v Gujarat Titans. This was a huge game for CKS, but Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan both hit tons, putting their IPL play-off qualification at risk.

Jos Buttler scored an incredible hundred, but is he going to leave the IPL right when the Rajasthan Royals need him the most?

KL Rahul's captain's knock keeps the Lucknow Super Giants in the playoff picture The Mumbai Indians are working their way up the table, but apart from Jasprit Bumrah are still struggling with the ball Can the Gujarat Titans recover from the net run-rate hit they took against Delhi? Has Jake Fraser McGurk's form for Delhi Capitals vaulted him into Australia's T20 World Cup plans?

In this episode of the show, Binksy and Baldy review the past three days of IPL 2024 action - Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals and the Gujarat Titans v Delhi Capitals. Recorded on 18 April, we discuss the record-breaking runfest at the Chinnaswamy, which saw a Travis Head century, plus excellent innings and giant sixes from Heinrich Klaasen, Dinesh Karthik and many others. There's also praise for Jos Buttler's remarkable effort for Rajasthan, as they chased down KKR's 223-6 off the final delivery, meaning Sunil Narine's hundred was in a losing cause. The trend of praising wicketkeepers continues with Dinesh Kathik also mentioned in despatches for his effort in a losing cause against the Sunrisers. Some sides are making a run (we're looking at you Sunrisers and the resurgent Delhi Capitals) whereas the Gujarat Titans look to be in a big hole. Are they done for the season, or is there life yet?

Three games for us to react to on this IPL 2024 show. Jos Buttler caused mayhem yesterday as he helped Rajasthan Royals complete the record IPL chase against the Kolkata Knight Riders. A game which also featured Sunil Narine scoring a maiden century! On Monday there was even more carnage, as Royals Challengers Bengaluru allowed Sunrisers Hyderbad to break the IPL record score AGAIN. They hit 287, with Travis Head notching a ton to lead the charge there. Then finally Gujarat Titans played terribly and were bowled out for 89 by a Delhi Capitals side who are on the march!

Recorded on 15 April, we review all 10 teams, awarding the turquoise cap and handing out the power rankings along the way. Is the biggest threat to the Rajasthan Royals actually the Rajasthan Royals? Will the Kolkata Knight Riders ever slow down? Can the Chennai Super Kings get even more from MS Dhoni? Are the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters struggling? Can Shubman Gill carry the Gujarat Titans to the playoffs? Are the Lucknow Super Giants slumping? Why is the Mumbai Indians' bowling so bad when Jasprit Bumrah is so good? Are the Delhi Capitals the scariest team in the bottom half of the ladder? Will a Punjab Kings game ever finish outside of the final over?

Darshan Nalkande started playing cricket in his home town, Akola, at a young age. At 13, he was selected into Vidarbha Cricket Association's residential academy, Nagpur. To pursue his cricketing dream, he moved to Nagpur. Throughout his formative years, his parents backed his dream and today Darshan has ensured that his parents' hardships were not in vain. At 25, he is an integral part of the Vidarbha cricket team in all three forms of the game. Darshan was part of the Punjab Kings set-up for three years but did not get a game. In 2022, he moved to Gujarat Titans and made his IPL debut against his former side. His maiden IPL wicket - his Vidarbha teammate Jitesh Sharma. In IPL 2023 Qualifier 1, he got the wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad but he had bowled a no-ball. How did a coach like Ashish Nehra help him move on from that mistake and focus on the game ahead? What has changed in the Gujarat Titans' camp under the captaincy of Shubman Gill? Darshan Nalkande reflects on his journey and the future on IPL Uwaach with The Hindu's sports journalist Amol Karhadkar… दर्शन नळकांडेने अकोल्यात क्रिकेट खेळायला सुरवात केली आणि त्याच्या लहानपणापासूनच त्याच्या आई-वडिलांनी त्याला पूर्ण पाठिंबा दिला. वयाच्या १३व्या वर्षी त्याची निवड विदर्भ क्रिकेट अकादमीच्या निवासी अकादमीत झाली आणि तिथून त्याची गाडी सुसाट सुटली. आज दर्शन विदर्भाच्या तिन्ही संघात एक महत्त्वाचा खेळाडू आहे. तो पंजाब किंग्ज संघाचा भाग होता पण त्याला एकही सामना खेळायला मिळाला नाही. २०२२ मध्ये तो गुजरात टायटन्समध्ये गेला. पदार्पणाच्या सामन्यात त्याने विदर्भाचा सहकारी जितेश शर्माचा बळी देखील घेतला.

We discuss standout performances from Rashid Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shashank Singh, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Shubman Gill as well as the key moments of these three games. Are the Gujarat Titans back? Will the Punjab Kings ever give up on a chase? Is spin going to be a major factor for the Chennai Super Kings from now on? Have Sunrisers Hyderabad found some consistency? Was it just a bad day at the office for Kolkata Knight Riders? Should the Rajasthan Royals have regrets about only bowling two Trent Boult overs?

Three IPL games to talk about on this show. Rajasthan Royals play the Gujarat Titans today. Thanks to an assault from Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson the Royals managed a big score. Will Shubman Gill and the Titans be able to chaise it down? Yesterday Shashank nearly did it again, but fell a little short, as the rest of the Punjab Kings was unable to properly support him. Sunrisers were lucky to get a good score on the board, despite struggling with the bat, but are now in a great position to make a move on the IPL play-offs. On Monday Chennai Super Kings completed a formality over the Kolkata Knight Riders. Comfortable efficiency was the order of the day for CSK, with Ruturaj Gaikwad making his first big contribution of the year.

The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is seeing a rather unusual controversy – Indian fans have been booing, and in some cases, abusing, a star player of the national team wherever he's gone to play. At the receiving end is Hardik Pandya, the erstwhile captain of Gujarat Titans, who has moved to Mumbai Indians. He is now the skipper of Mumbai Indians, replacing Rohit Sharma, who led the team to the title five times in ten years. Franchises chop and change their teams and captains all the time – it is part and parcel of club sport. And yet, Pandya has faced really hostile crowds at every venue he's played so far, to the extent that there were speculative media reports on some special security arrangements at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. What explains this hostility? Is this a phenomenon of what some commentators have described as “fan wars”? Guest: Amol Karhadkar from The Hindu's Sports Bureau. Host: G.

A packed weekend in the IPL featured games between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans. In game one Virat Kohli and Jos Buttler traded 100s. Rajasthan eventually came out on top, and there are questions for RCB. Can anyone except Virat Kohli score any runs for them? This morning, Mumbai Indians finally won a match, as they beat Delhi Capitals easily. Romario Shepherd hit over 30 from the final over, bowled by Anrich Nortje. Is there any hope for Delhi, and is the beginning of a charge for Mumbai Indians. Then finally, Lucknow Super Giants have Yash Thakur. Thakur picked up 5 wickets to help LSG fight back against the Titans to set fire to their innings and set up a win. Want to create live streams like this?

Two IPL games to talk about today, as we cover Sunrisers Hyderabad smashing the Chennai Super Kings and the Punjab Kings miracle win v the Gujarat Titans. Shashank Singh, who was rumoured to have been accidentally bought at the IPL auction, redeemed himself with a scintillating 50 that lead Punjab Kings to a heroic win. Today CSK batted like lemons to leave SRH only 165 to win. Sunrisers set off on fire with Abhishek blasting the ball everywhere as they cruised towards an easy win. We provide our reaction to both IPL 2024 matches from the last two days.

Three games in the 2024 IPL for us to talk about this weekend. Yesterday Lucknow Super Giants beat the Punjab Kings of comedy, thanks to Mayank Yadav bowling 97mph and Nicholas Pooran blasing the ball into orbit. Today we say the Gujarat Titans overcome the Sunrisers Hyderabad thanks to a combination of Mohit Sharma, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed. Then later Delhi Capitals posted a score of 190 v Chennai Super Kings and thanks to some tight bowling put the pressure on Gaikwad, Dhoni and the boys to pull off a difficult chase. Rishabh Pant scored his first 50 since his car accident.

On our midweek 2024 IPL reaction we discuss three games, featuring: Sunrisers Hyderabad v Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans v Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings v Royal Challengers Bangalore. The main story is Sunrisers Hyderabad who, led by Klaasen, Head and Abhishek Sharma blitzed their way to the IPL record score of 275. Mumbai Indians were caught in the headlights as their bowlers were punished by the Sunrisers who were in amazing form. Earlier in the week Chennai Super Kings overcame the Titans with ease, as MS Dhoni took a great catch along the way. And Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first match of the year as they jumped all over mistakes from the Punjab Kings.
