Christmas special part one: How should Lyon and Warner be remembered, and the threat the MLC poses for county cricket

Mark Butcher, Phil Walker, Katya Witney and Yas Rana look back at a busy week in international cricket as the England men’s side continued their tour of the Caribbean with mixed success, losing their first two T20Is before Phil Salt and Harry Brook kept the series alive in thrilling fashion in the third fixture.

England women succumbed to a heavy defeat in their one-off Test in Mumbai as their batting unit failed to fire - how will Australia fare in similar conditions?

There’s also discussion on Nathan Lyon and David Warner after both enjoyed big weeks in Australia’s win over Pakistan, and the looming threat of Major League Cricket on the heart of the county season.

For next week’s show, we’re after your moments of the year – we’d love to hear from you; please get in touch at [email protected]
