World Cricket Show

All over it like a towel on a sunbed.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony conclude their award-winning two-part Ashes preview with a thorough rundown of England's prospects. Is the Compton/Root switch a sensible move, or a bit of a gamble? Will Pietersen boss the series? Will Anderson and Swann be too strong for the Aussies? And are England really the overwhelming favourites that everyone's assuming?

In addition, Guernsey captain Jamie Nussbaumer talks on the phone about the ICC European Division One Championships in Sussex. Having beaten Norway, are Guernsey firmly on the road to Bangladesh?

Tony has a long list of demands when asking people to buy him food

Aw look, it's the World Cricket Show.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony provide a comprehensive rundown of Australia's Ashes chances. Among the questions they get their award-winning teeth into - is Darren Lehmann the silver bullet the Aussies needed? Does the new opening combination make sense? Is there any way they can win the series without Michael Clarke making runs? And could Nathan Lyon surprise England?

Plus, will Fawad Ahmed get a game? And if so, what will that mean for cricket's nationality debate?

Adam's been laid up for days with a crippling case of Ashes Fever

Tony's not a fan of the Sky Sports Ashes trailer

We're up all night to get a wicket.

Banter about with the World Cricket Show.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony get stuck in to the first week of action in the Champions Trophy. England crushed Australia, but still copped some criticism for batting too slowly - unfair? Or could the lack of flexibility be a problem down the road?

Plus, India look strong, Pakistan crash out, and New Zealand pip Sri Lanka in an absolute thriller, which Adam managed to miss because he was on the Harry Potter studio tour.

Up all night to get cricket.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony deliver a comprehensive preview of the Champions Trophy. First off, England. Have the defeats to New Zealand set fire to all their best-laid plans? Or are they still amongst the favourites?

J'aime le World Cricket Show (moi non plus)

On the pod this week, with Tony off stuffing his face with baguettes and croissants in Paris, Adam soldiers desperately on without him to deliver full analysis of the Headingley Test. Were England wrong not to enforce the follow-on? Or does the result vindicate the decision? And should most commentators therefore be ashamed of themselves?

Plus, will Graeme Swann's form be giving the Aussies nightmares? And will Nick Compton cling on until Trent Bridge?

Also this week:

Tony manages to join the fun via a crackly French phone line

Adam is going increasingly mad recording on his own

Marisa Tomei may or may not be joining the WCS staff full-time

We're up all night to get something.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony are reunited to discuss the eventful first Test at Lord's. England ended up winning convincingly, but was the margin deceptive? What happened to New Zealand's batting? Is Stuart Broad back to his best? And has Joe Root hammered yet another nail into Nick Compton's coffin?

In addition, there's analysis of the troubling news from India, where three IPL players have been arrested for spot fixing. What's the way forward now? And is the players the problem?

What's our age again?

This week, with Tony away doing some intensive work on his batting, Adam soldiers on and delivers a comprehensive preview of England v New Zealand. Swann and Bresnan are both back - is this good news, or does it smack of hastiness? Which seamer will miss out? And can New Zealand pull off a shock, or will England be too strong on home turf?

Also this week:

Cumberbatch cancels again

Cobo Legends are involved in a thrilling tie, with vital contributions from the WCS hosts

And are there any good cricket video games?
