English cricket can't get enough of New Zealand coaches. Former Black Cap Stephen Fleming has been confirmed as the country's new test mentor, replacing former teammate Brendon McCullum. Cricket writer Cameron Ponsonby told Piney while they've gotten used to having the big kind of celebrity personality of McCullum over the last few years, it seems as though everyone wants things to calm down a bit. “It feels like an adult's been hired.” He says it helps that the two know each other, as it feels like the ex-girlfriend is still in the room, with McCullum coaching the white-ball squad.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 5: There was a collective weariness at Trent Bridge on Day 5 from all apart from the impressive New Zealand team. A sparse, quiet crowd saw the Kiwis' depleted attack take out the Test and series, and they look good value to get some big results out of the next 12 months. The 160-run win was inspired by their Day 1 run-fest and a bloody-minded 2nd innings century from a battered and bruised Daryl Mitchell. England's efforts today will further bring into question how they approached yesterday evening, and furthermore, the futures of McCullum and Key. Ben Jones and Daniel Norcross.

Now across the river, it means at least two debuts, possibly three, and up to give changes pending circumstances outside of their control in a birthing suite. What of Stokes, and McCullum's press conference yesterday? And of Root, who steered so comfortably through his captain's press conference today? Might it be that interim leader extends to, say, the 2027 Ashes? Adam and Ben Jones can see it.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu discuss an interesting week in the world of cricket, which saw the IPL begin with RCB's win over SRH, New Zealand Cricket approve (in-principle) the formation of a new T20 franchise league & more details emerged about England's post-Ashes review. We start the show with game 1 of IPL 2026 - the Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on the defending champion RCB. The match played all the hits - big sixes, quality catches and big names - but it was a big Kiwi who stole the show with Jacob Duffy grabbing three quick wickets in the powerplay for RCB and then earning himself a well-deserved rest after 7 overs of the contest. We discuss the impact player rule, Virat Kohli's shot of the tournament, bowling concerns for SRH, Phil Salt's catching and a scattering of other IPL news including an injury to MS Dhoni and Ben Duckett's withdrawal. As we move to New Zealand, we breeze past South Africa's white-ball tour only really name-checking Ben Sears & Amelia Kerr, and spend the majority of this segment wondering how the proposed NZ20 franchise league would work and whether there's enough time to get things up and running for January 2027. To round out the show, we discuss England Cricket's post-Ashes review, which has seen the Stokes/McCullum combination retained . . . at least for now. We talk about whether anything is likely to change, whether it needed to change and why the Bazball style might not have suited the current England squad in the same way that it seemed to energise the group only a few years ago.

I feel like we have a month's worth of news that has happened since we last recorded. Mo Salah's departure announcement, yet more Chelsea punishment, Brendon McCullum's continuation as England Head Coach, Spurs going deeper into the relegation pit; where do we even start. Don't worry, we'll be taking a look at all of this in some capacity, but the Mo Salah news and what it tells us about Liverpool's current situation, alongside the ECB's decision to stick with the leadership that oversaw such a depressing winter for English cricket will lead from the front in this week's episode of ‘The Breakdown'.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Krieket: Die Engelse- en Wallis-krieketraad het 'n regmerkie gegee vir die bestuurspan van die hoofafrigter, Brendon McCullum, die kaptein, Ben Stokes, en die direkteur van krieket, Rob Key, ná 'n interne hersiening van die reeks om die As. Engeland het met 1-4 die onderspit gedelf in die reeks teen Australië wat gekenmerk is deur swak beplanning, onder-standaard vertonings en insluitend beskuldigings van 'n drinkkultuur in die Engelse span. Key sê die raad se gevolgtrekking was dat dit nie die regte besluit sou wees om McCullum in die pad te steek nie:
