World Cricket Show

The World Cricket Show just keeps on running.

On the pod this week, Adam and an out-of-breath Tony discuss Dale Steyn's demolition of Pakistan. Is Steyn cementing his place amongst the all-time greats? Is the gulf between these two teams as wide as 49 all out would suggest? Or can Pakistan fight back?

In addition, there's discussion of the Women's World Cup, where Sri Lanka have been making waves. But can anyone besides England and Australia stake a claim for the title?

Also this week:

Tony's just been running, and it pretty much destroyed him

Adam dreams he's on the Ivory Coast Olympic swimming team

A new world beer snake record

The IPL auction is as baffling as ever

Adam helps Tony finally get started with his new year's resolution

This podcast lark really is snow joke.

On the pod this week, host Adam and loose cannon Tony discuss another ODI series defeat for England in India. How disappointed should English supporters be with this display? Does it spell the line for any particular players (cough Jade Dernbach)? And does the performance of Joe Root offer encouragement going forward?

In addition, there's analysis of New Zealand's remarkable one-day win in South Africa, and, building on last week, further exploration of the idea of a two-division Test championship.

Tony's attempts to do Adam's job end in spectacular failure

Freeze-y come, freeze-y go.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss the fluctuating start to England's one-day series in India? After their big win in Kochi, do India have the momentum? Does Jade Dernbach deserve a place in the team? Ditto Craig Kieswetter? And is Ravi Jadeja finally establishing himself for India?

In addition, there's an autopsy on another New Zealand horror show in Port Elizabeth, and a listener question sparks a debate about the concept of a two-division Test championship. Is that something that could ever happen? And would it be a good idea if it did?

Tony makes fun of Adam's winter wardrobe

Jesse Ryder wants a fight with Andrew Flintoff

High roller Tony wins himself a fortune betting on the second ODI

New year, same old voices.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony inspect the wreckage of New Zealand's 45 all out in Cape Town. Just what the blazes happened there? Was it an aberration, or part of a more worrying pattern for the Kiwis? And might this Vernon Philander guy be quite good?

In addition, there's analysis of Australia's clean sweep of Sri Lanka, and a look ahead to England's one-day series in India. Can the tourists repeat their Test success? They've rested three of their most senior players - is that sensible with such a big prize on the line? And will India's batsmen start to live up to their billing?

Also this week:

Christmas songs in January are about to break Adam

Tony thinks it's summer already

Shane Warne gets fired up

Umpire cam is like something from a horror movie

Tony makes Adam pay for two full English breakfasts at the same time

Lad around with the World Cricket Show.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony are joined by London correspondent Gordon Macrae for the 2012 edition of their award-winning review of the year. Amongst other things - England. Does victory in India atone for the earlier struggles? Which players have impressed? And what does 2013 hold in store?

In addition, there's analysis of the fortunes of all the other big Test teams. Are South Africa set for a long spell at the summit? What to make of Australia's year? Will Pakistan continue their world-beating form? And after a seismic defeat, what do India do now?

Also this week:

Adam is terrible at opening Christmas presents

Gordon lives in London, but doesn't like to mention it

Tony struggles to remember anything ever

Adam subjects Gordon to a Paxman-esque grilling

Everybody lads about like the massive lads they are

I'm dreaming of a (World Cricket Show) Christmas. Or something.

On this very special Christmas special, Adam and Tony reflect on England's historic series win in India. Ignoring Tony's weak attempts to claim that he sort-of-predicted this, nobody really saw this result coming - how did England manage to pull it off? And where does it leave them as they look ahead to further challenges next year?

Plus, what about India? They can no longer pretend there aren't big problems in the team - has the time finally come to move on from the galacticos? Has even MS Dhoni reached the end of the road?

Also this week:

Tony has only ever read one book

Adam is always happy to take credit for work he hasn't done

The majority of 2012's biggest celebs are in the studio

A fire alarm causes mayhem

It's beginning to look a lot like cricket. Or something.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss England's remarkable victory in Kolkata. Was this even more impressive than Mumbai? Can anything more be said about Alastair Cook? And where do India go from here?

In addition, there's a characteristically meticulous preview of Australia's home series with Sri Lanka. Recalling Phil Hughes is a brave move, but is it the right one? Should Michael Clarke be batting higher? And can Rangana Herath spin Sri Lanka to an upset?

Also this week:

Adam is driven to despair by early noughties pop hits

Tony bowls the London correspondent round his legs

Shane Warne threatens a comeback, then gets tonked around

Spin bowling reality shows

Tony listens to Switch Hit in his headphones

Tis the season....for cricket and stuff.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on South Africa's crushing win in Perth. Was this a case of the real South Africa turning up at last? Or do the Aussies have cause to be disappointed? Not the way Ricky Ponting would have wanted to sign off his career - how much will Australia miss him? And where does he sit in the pantheon of great players?

In addition, there's a look ahead to the Test match in Kolkata, and analysis of Ashley Giles' appointment as England limited overs coach. Is two coaches a sensible idea? Or could it lead to problems down the road?

Also this week:

Tony is already angrily bored with the royal baby

Freddie Flintoff acquits himself well in his first boxing bout

Adam is has problems getting the first posters up

Back together, back in business.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss England's sensational Test win in Mumbai. Has there ever been a more satisfying victory for England supporters? How did they turn things around so spectacularly from Ahmedabad? And where do India go from here? Whisper it, but is Tendulkar on the brink?

In addition, the dynamic duo turn their attentions to South Africa's extraordinary Adelaide escape. Was that one of the all-time great debuts from Faf Du Plessis? Have Australia squandered their best chance to win the series, or can they still seal the deal in Perth?

Also this week:

Adam ignores Tony in an airport

Jauntily reductive impressions of Scotland and Australia

Tony is deeply inconsiderate on aeroplanes

Adam starts a one-man Barmy Army in his living room

One is the loneliest number....

On the pod this week, with Tony having swanned off to tour the stand-up circuit in the south of England, Adam soldiers on without him to deliver a comprehensive report on the Test match in Ahmedabad. Did Alastair Cook's extraordinary century rescue some momentum for England? Or will this go down as nothing other than a crushing win for India? And will things follow a similar pattern in Mumbai?

In addition, there's analysis of Sri Lanka's big win over New Zealand in Galle, and exciting buildup to the next Australia-South Africa Test in Adelaide. Can the Proteas turn things around? And is Shane Watson's Test future in jeopardy?

Bolt says no to Warne

Things take a strange turn at a Ricky Ponting press conference
