English Test cricket sees itself in a dire need of a rebuild after the post-Ashes reset has failed and cost the dressing room its captain. But what comes next? What even was Bazball?

England take on India in a 5-match T2o series ahead of three ODIs

What a rollercoaster this Test was. Not only have New Zealand taken their first Test series of three or more tests victory in England since 1999 and England have lost their first Test series of three or more tests at home since 2012, but Ben Stokes departed from International cricket, effective immediately. We'll talk through all that and more in the third test review from the Crowe-Thorpe Trophy...

In the wake of curfewgate and enforced changes to the squad, England entered the second Test against New Zealand very much with a disrupted team, something which New Zealand took full opportunity to exploit with incredible performances from Glenn Phillips and Matt Henry. We discuss the performance of England in this Test whilst looking ahead to the final game at Trent Bridge and talk about England...

Rob Key address the media on Thursday ahead of the second New Zealand Test to talk about the Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson nightclub incident. In this Power Play Podcast, we react to his response to the ongoing situation and discuss whether England Cricket has a drinking culture or if the issue is much bigger than that.

The impressive England Test victory over New Zealand at Lords was overshadowed by an unsatisfactory wicket, heavily bowler favouring conditions and an incident that saw Ben Stokes and GUs Atkinson break the team curfew. We discuss all this and what the future of England Test cricket could look like in the latest Round The Stumps Podcast.

100 runs too few for England, and 100 too many for Australia meant there was nothing the visitors could do to stop the series going 4-1. Listen in as we discuss all thing from the final Ashes Test, sensational centuries from Joe Root, Travis Head and Jacob Bethell, and where England fell down once again not capitalising on the big moments.

5,468 days was the wait for England to secure their first Ashes Test win down under since taking the urn home from their successful 2010/11 series. Another Test wrapped up in two days on what has been deemed an 'unsatisfactory' surface by the ICC, but it moves the scorecard to 3-1 and avoids England's fourth whitewash on the bounce. We talk about all things Melbourne as well as looking ahead to Sy...

There is no denying that England started making strides in the right direction for the third Test, but it was too little too late as Australia's relentless consistency took the series 3-0.
