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!

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?

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.
