This week on Late Night Cricket, I introduce a brand new segment, It’s Just Not Cricket, and tackle one of the most debated moments in the WPL — Harleen Deol being retired out just three runs short of a half-century.

I also shared this week’s Top Ten, add new names to the Honours Board, and finish the show with a late-night over of commentary from the WPL clash between the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangaluru.

This week on Late Night Cricket, I hand out the marks after the Men’s Ashes series.

Who passed?
Who failed?
And who shouldn’t be anywhere near the class next term?

There’s also the first Top Ten list of the year, the debut of the Late Night Cricket Honours Board, and commentary on the WPL clash between the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.

Analysis, entertainment, and late-night cricket, as always.

In this end-of-year episode of Late Night Cricket, Australia seal the Men’s Ashes in the Third Test at Adelaide.

I break down what went right for Australia, what went wrong for England, and why some tough selection calls may be unavoidable heading into the Melbourne Test.

Strong opinions, Ashes reaction, and one last late-night session to close out 2025.

In this episode of Late Night Cricket, I settle in for the Second Men’s Ashes Test at the ‘Gabba before heading out to North Sydney Oval for a WBBL double header.

It’s a show about contrasts — Test cricket intensity, T20 energy, and what the game feels like when you experience it live versus on the couch.

Ashes analysis, women’s cricket, and late-night reflections on the state of the game.

In this episode of Late Night Cricket, I reflect on a full Saturday watching Day Two of the Ashes Test, break down England’s batting in comparison to the India vs South Africa Test, and ask the bigger question — is Test cricket being respected in the modern game?

There’s also another late-night quaddie, and a shoutout to the undisputed queen of commentary, Mel Jones.

In the very first episode of Late Night Cricket, I dive into the WBBL, start the Ashes conversation early, place a very questionable quaddie, and give well-deserved shoutouts to Kate Cross and Alex Hartley.

And yes… you can still try to guess what I was drinking.
