It's a bumper edition of the podcast this week as we preview the County Championship season and Bob Willis Trophy.

Who will under perform? Who might over perform? And will Somerset come second again?

All this and much more answered this week. Enjoy!

This week, it's the most decisive pod in RSP history as we wrap up the T20I series.

We finally decided Malan's time in England's T20 side is done! Should Buttler float around the entire order? Is Alex Hales a must-pick for the World Cup?

Also, there's plenty of Indian selection issues, a bit of chat about the first ODI and we debate what our favourite umpiring combination is. Enjoy!

This week brings a very precise mid-series review as we discuss the ongoing T20I series between India and England

While Zac was slightly distracted by baking bread, the guys chat about how the series is poised after 2-and-a-bit games and how England and India are shaping up ahead of the T20 World Cup this year.

How may anchor players is too many anchor players? Is Malan too slow? What is Stokes' role in the side? Why is Will angry at Iyer? All of this and plenty more throughout the pod, and stay tuned toward the end to see how Zac's bread turns out.

This week, the formal Rain Stopped Play post mortem takes place as we pick apart England's performance in the 4th test.

We start with the news (2:30) and chat about the PSL being suspended, the IPL fixtures being announced and England women dominating their tour of New Zealand.

We then (15:28) take a quick look at India's dominance across the 4th Test and the series and ask what they can learn as they build towards the World Test Championship Final.

Finally, England are in the crosshairs (29:25) and we discuss team selection, rotation policy, batting order and ask what the ECB should prioritise in a busy year.

We are back much, much earlier than we thought we'd be for this week's episode where we review the chaotic 3rd Test between India and England.

Join an angry Dan, a surprisingly calm Zac, a composed Will and Glenn, who tees off (not aggressively) at Ed Smith's rotation policy, to try and make sense of what just happened.

Unlike for the 2nd test, we initially engage heavily in some pitch discourse after the game was wrapped up inside two days. Should we solely blame the pitch for what happened?

Away from pitch issues, Axar is excellent, Bairstow needs the toilet and we announce the Matt Hancock Arena.

Enjoy the chaos.

This week, the Rain Stopped Play team break down all the action from last week's IPL auction ahead of the 2021 season.

Dan, Zac and Will go through each franchise's business on auction day to decipher who has the best and who had the worst of the players on offer.

Did Rajasthan pay too much for Morris? Are Sachin Baby and Arjun Tendulkar the same person? Did Sunrisers Hyderabad forget they were at an auction?

Dan and Zac apologise in advance if they were too harsh on your franchise, but Will does not so any questions or general anger should be pointed in his general direction.

Let us know who you think had the best auction and who will win IPL 2021 by contacting us on Twitter - @RainStoppedPod - or by using #rainstoppedplay

Another fascinating Test this week as the guys break down all of the stories from the 2nd Test between India and England.

Will tries to work out whether Rohit or Ashwin's performance was the key to India's win, Glenn discovers his new dream job and Zac has this week's 'Jack Leach Stat Of The Week'.

We also begin to dissect the Moeen Ali situation: has he been hung out to dry again by the ECB?

We also get stuck in to a bit of pitch chat, but mostly blame Michael Vaughan #onon

Enjoy!
