In this fiery episode, Menners is joined by Jono Baruch and Mark Machado to dissect yet another low point for the England Test team following their antics during the handshake fiasco against India.

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. In addition, we look ahead to the upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe. We'll be back in your feed next week to recap the England v India and NZ v Zimbabwe Tests.

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies star Kieran Powell dive into a full match review of the 1st T20 between West Indies and Australia in Jamaica. Despite a solid showing, the West Indies fell short as Australia claimed the victory but Kieran has his say on what worked, what didn't, and what must improve heading into the rest of the series. The duo break down Shai Hope's return to the top of the order, a composed knock from captain and a standout 60-run innings from Roston Chase, who top-scored for the Windies. Kieran praises the Hope-Chase partnership but says the skipper could've pushed harder during that crucial stand. With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, Kieran makes a compelling point about the need for players to understand and settle into their roles, warning against unnecessary changes to the batting lineup. The hosts also discuss the firepower in the West Indies squad, calling for a more aggressive mindset with bat in hand. Plus the lads preview possible team changes ahead of the next T20, including rotation in the bowling attack and how player management will be key in balancing performance with preparation. Don't miss this insight-packed breakdown of the Windies' T20 campaign, only on PowettPlay your go-to cricket podcast for West Indies cricket analysis, expert opinions, and unfiltered takes from those who've played the game. #PowettPlayPodcast #WestIndiesCricket #WIvAUS #T20Cricket #WestIndies #AustraliaCricket #ShaiHope #RostonChase #CaribbeanCricket #KieranPowell #T20WorldCup #CricketPodcast #Windies #CricketAnalysis #CricketDiscussion #PlayerManagement #CricketCommentary #JamaicaCricket #WIvAUS #T20 #Cricket #CricketTalk Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at Australia's 3-0 Test series victory in the West Indies, which saw them produce a near record-breaking performance in the final match. We also discuss the start of the T20 Tri Series from a Black Caps point of view, with NZ back in action on the world stage. (Note the episode ends abruptly, as we lost the final 2 minutes of the recording, which was mainly Baldy talking about how fun it has been to watch Lhuan-dre Pretorius bat in his short international career.) We start the show by talking about Australia's performance against the West Indies. Three games, three wins, maximum World Test Championship points, but was it a good performance? There's plenty of talk about the batters, with Sam Konstas and Cameron Green mentioned, before we move to the bowling group to discuss Mitchell Starc's milestone match and the best bowler in world cricket who hardly ever plays, Scott Boland. To round out our conversation about this series, we ask where the West Indies can find some batters who can support their bowling group. With the Black Caps taking part in the T20 Tri-series against South Africa and Zimbabwe, we discuss New Zealand's first two matches and the depth they appear to be building in the T20 format. There are mentions for BJ Jacobs, Tim Robinson, Devon Conway and Mark Chapman, before the recording cut off just as Lhuan-dre Pretorius was being discussed. We'll be back in your feed next week to recap the 4th Test between England and India and more news from the Black Caps.

In a cricket world dominated by the IPL, the race is on to be the next best T20 league. As the Big Bash League launches season 15 we ask CEO Alistair Dobson what we're doing to compete. Is it enough to hope for the odd local star to make a cameo and a handful of international guns to (maybe) play? How long before we open the door to private investment?

The mighty West Indies ruled cricket for about 20 years and gave the world some of the best cricketers. However, the decline post 1995 has been equally spectacular, making many wonder what went so drastically wrong in a team full of champion cricketers. Our guest Shishir Hattangadi explains the reasons that led to the graph dipping for West Indies mid 1990s onwards in this episode of A Century of Stories: Cricket podcast presented by IDFC FIRST Bank.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Award-winning actor Fiona Shaw has starred in Killing Eve, Bad Sisters, Fleabag, True Detective: Night Country, Echo Valley and even as Aunt Petunia in Harry Potter, among many other things. She's won and been nominated for several Laurence Olivier awards for her work on stage and she's even directed opera. Now starring in a new film adaptation of Deborah Levy's novel, Hot Milk, Fiona plays Rose, who goes to Almería, Spain with her daughter, Sofia, played by the brilliant Emma Mackey, to try to find a cure for Rose's mysterious paralysis at an experimental clinic. Fiona joins Nuala McGovern live in the studio to discuss it.The Scottish Parliament is looking for opinions on a proposed bill which would change the laws on prostitution in the country. It targets those who buy sexual services by creating a new criminal offence of paying for a sexual act. If passed, it would criminalise those buying sex, while decriminalising those selling it. The woman behind the bill, MSP Ash Regan, speaks to Woman's Hour about why she wants the change, and responds to criticisms that it could make sex work less safe. Today government ministers have launched a review of UK parental leave and pay to reset the system and speaking yesterday the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said people were scared of having children because of the high costs and she wanted “more young people to have children, if they so choose”. But getting to become a parent can sometimes require ongoing fertility treatment meaning time away from work. And Fertility Matters at Work are calling for those undergoing this support to have the legal right to take time off for their appointments. They've published a report on it and the author Becky Kearns joins Nuala. She's the co-founder and CEO of Fertility Matters at Work. A new production of Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten, starring Ruth Wilson, is on at the Almeida theatre in London. Nuala is joined by multi award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall to discuss the central character Josie, and why the father-daughter relationship at the heart of the play spoke to her. Women's cricket in England has been through trials and tribulations recently. The team lost 16-0 to Australia in the Women's Ashes at the start of this year, and were knocked out of the T20 World Cup at the end of last year. But in June, after the appointment of a new coach and captain, had a clean sweep in their T20 series against the West Indies. Now they're facing India in a series of T20 matches, and suffered a defeat in their first match.

Bevon Jacobs is hoping that sharing a changing room with Indian cricket superstars such as Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah will serve him well for his country. The Auckland batter's the only uncapped player in the 15-man squad for next month's T20 tri-series against South Africa and hosts Zimbabwe. Jacobs was part of the Mumbai squad in the latest edition of the Indian Premier League - in an unusual case of cracking an IPL contract before playing internationally. He joined Piney to discuss further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alice joins them and promises Chris that she and Martha will be there, cheering on both sides.Over lunch at the Dower House Justin catches Lilian scrolling through a world cruises website. Justin's appalled as Lilian outlines her plans for their retirement, going on exotic holidays. Just the thought of the family holiday Peggy stipulated in her will is enough to make Justin quail. In any case, he enjoys working far too much to give it up, but reluctantly agrees to talk about Lilian's proposal later.During the cricket innings break Hannah chastises her ‘Elite' team-mates for batting so poorly and can't understand why Chris and Adam aren't taking it more seriously. Jolene however is loving how well her ‘Underdog' team performed in the field. Alice joins Justin and Lilian on the boundary edge, apologising for not being more receptive yesterday to Lilian's idea of leaving Ambridge. She now thinks Lilian should go ahead and do whatever is best for her and Justin. Once Alice has gone though, Justin makes it clear to Lilian he's still not keen.The cricket ends in defeat for Hannah's team, with everybody repairing to The Bull for drinks and a T20 photograph. Chris and Alice tentatively agree to spend more family time together with Martha, and Alice says she'll accompany Adam to keep an eye on Helen when she goes for her date at Grey Gables on Wednesday.

The match is disappointing despite Henry and Khalil's efforts in the field. Tony remarks that Ambridge seem to have given up. Zainab wonders when it'll be over – at least Fallon's pies were delicious. Natasha sympathises with Tom over the loss. Henry isn't impressed with his play. He can barely hit the ball. He doesn't think he'll go in for the T20 next week. Encouraging Tony offers to give him some tips. Natasha's concerned over Henry hiding his phone earlier. Tom thinks it's normal for teenagers to conceal what's on their phones but Natasha persists. Tom offers to have a word with him.
