Adam Peacock and Alyssa Healy join you to talk about just how good Test cricket is! We look at the historic Australian win in Jamaica - Starc and Boland couldn't miss, Cam Green had a solid series, and the race is on this spring to find Australia’s next opening batsman. We also dive into India vs England and a fiery third Test. Jofra Archer is back, the sledging between the two teams was wild, and Ben Stokes proved once again he’s a warrior. Did India miss Kohli? Was Shubman Gill rattled? We finish with Italy’s World Cup qualification and Heals shares her biggest blow-up.

Adam Peacock joins you, Brad Haddin & Alyssa Healy to review two tense Test match finishes between Australia and the West Indies, and India and England. We look at the top-order challenges Australia has faced, Cam Green's knock at three, Alex Carey's class in the middle order, and how 'clutch' he and Beau Webster have been. We also touch on Starcy's upcoming 100-Test milestone and discuss West Indies cricket - will we ever see another West Indian player reach 100 Tests?

After an average first Test, India have bounced back in sublime form. Shubman Gill is chasing Bradman's record, Bumrah is back, Siraj and Deep are on fire, and there are holes in the English team, with Stokes and the bowlers struggling.

We finish with sundries - Heals weighs in on the WT20 series between India and England, Suryavanshi is back scoring runs, and South Africa are on fire!
