The Cricket Podcast

CRUNCH TIME. The World Cup has reached the knockout stage and the boys are glued to the action. Join Jack, and Max as they dissect everything from the semi-final line-ups: Who's the biggest threat? What's the dark horse factor? And did the group stage confirm a clear favourite or is this still anyone's game? We break down the key matchups, player form, and make some questionable predictions.



Then, there’s chaos in the Test arena. Pat Cummins has been ruled OUT of the First Test. It’s the news no one expected and it throws a massive spanner in the works. What does this injury mean for the bowling attack? Who steps up as Captain? And, crucially, is this the moment the whole campaign swings?



Tune in for the usual sharp analysis, humorous debate, and a detailed look at all of cricket's major stories. Whether it’s white-ball glory or the drama of the Test summer, we’ve got you covered.

Join us for a recap of the England vs. Ireland T20I series, where England showcased a dominant performance, winning 2-0 overall. We'll highlight Phil Salt's explosive batting displays, including his incredible 89 off 46 balls against Ireland, which followed a record-breaking 141 not out against South Africa just days before the series. Did Salt cement his place as a T20 superstar with these sensational performances?

Later, we'll delve into the contentious 2025 Asia Cup, focusing on the controversial caught-behind dismissal of Fakhar Zaman in the India vs. Pakistan match. We'll unpack why Pakistan filed an official complaint to the ICC regarding the TV umpire's decision and the earlier refusal by Indian players to shake hands with the Pakistan team at the toss and after the game. This incident led to Pakistan's complaint against match referee Andy Pycroft to the ICC.
