James Buttler is joined by Australian regular Lucas to chat all things New Zealand vs England and Australia vs India.
With New Zealand dominant in Hamilton and England taking the series 2-1, what have England learned? Jacob Bethell has a future. Why did Ben Stokes overbowl himself? What mark would England get out of 10 in 2024?
And, with Brisbane rain ruining Australia's hopes at The Gabba, are we any closer to finding out who will hold the Border Gavaskar Trophy? 1-1 after three Tests would set up the series beautifully with two to play.

James Buttler is joined by Australian fan badger Lucas and former player Azeem Rafiq to look back at the third Test between Pakistan and England in Rawalpindi.
Player of the Series Sajid Khan took match figures of 10/197 and Noman Ali 9/131, while Saud Shakeel was Player of the Match for his brilliant 134. Pakistan won the Test by 9 wickets to take the series 2-1.
So.... well played Pakistan. Are England any good or just entertaining? Why can't England's spinners compete with Noman and Sajid? Is there too much emphasis on the Ashes? Is it the structure of English cricket at fault and not the squad? And, by the way, what a performance from New Zealand in India!

Pakistan winning the Test by 152 runs to level the series at 1-1 with Rawalpindi to come next week.

James Buttler is joined by Australian fan badger Lucas to look back at the second Test between England and Sri Lanka at Lord's. England took victory by 190 runs inside four days (again) to take their home summer tally to 5-0.
Has there been a less competitive English Test summer in recent memory? Lord's got their fourth day ticket prices all wrong, so what can the ECB do to avoid empty seats? Gus Atkinson and Joe Root were brilliant, but what about the rest - won't stronger opponents make England pay for carelessness?

James Buttler is joined regular fan badger Neil Virani to speak to Robbie Millar, a Lecturer in Sport Business Management in the Academy of Sport and Physical Activity at Sheffield Hallam University.
The discussion moves onto the private equity ownership in The Hundred? Is that good for the game, what opportunities does it offer, is it open to abuse, will it ultimately lead to a fracture in the game between The Hundred counties and the rest?
The chat rounds off with a look at cricket's global finances and whether a more equitable distribution of wealth is advisable and/or possible? Can Test cricket be preserved?
They also broaden the discussion out to the world game and the sustainability of international cricket, particularly Tests.

James Buttler is joined regular fan badger Neil Virani to speak to Robbie Millar, a Lecturer in Sport Business Management in the Academy of Sport and Physical Activity at Sheffield Hallam University.
The discussion centres around money in English county cricket. Where does it come from? Are the 18 counties financially sustainable? What does The Hundred bring to the counties and ECB? What are the opportunities of The Hundred deal and from private equity ownership in professional team sport? What does that deal mean for county cricket?
They also broaden the discussion out to the world game and the sustainability of international cricket, particularly Tests.

Jonathan Campion joins James Buttler to chat about his new book. Jonathan chronicles the rise of Ukraine cricket and it's inevitable (and hopefully short) hiatus as war ravages the nation.
The people that built the sport in Ukraine talk about cricket and their real-life and very human experiences of the war. It is an excellent book.
