Part two of our IPL 2021 second half preview (feat. Dan Weston),  continues with Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. The current top four in the tournament.

The IPL is about to restart, so the Cricket Podcast boys (plus Dan Weston) get together to preview the second half of the competition. In part one we talk about the teams from the bottom half of the tournament. Can any of the stragglers put it together and go on a run to make it into the top 4? Surely Sunrisers won't, they have been in disarray. Meanwhile KKR appear to have overpaid for some overs...

England v India has wrapped up as a 2-1 India win, or a 2-2 draw, or it hasn't wrapped up yet and they will play the final Test next year. The boys discuss this, revisit their (reasonably accurate) predictions, and talk about the deciding factors that lead to India's success. Lots of praise for Rohit Sharma, even more for Jasprit Bumrah, and an acknowledgement that Ollie Robinson did a good job. T...

England's final Test of the summer against India has been cancelled. The teams were scheduled to face off in a fifth Test, with England having the chance of levelling the series, and India shooting for a 3-1 win. Unfortunately a COVID outbreak among the Indian coaching and support staff meant that the players were unwilling to play.  Jack Hope and Nakul Pande discuss the fallout from this. Is anyo...

England v India reaches its conclusion with England battling for a respectful draw and Virat Kohli has the opportunity to score the first goal in his potential captain's hat-trick of an overseas series win over England, RCB's IPL crown and India's world cup win.  We preview the final test at Old Trafford, asking if both teams finally decide to play two spinners (come on Virat, play Ashwin!), if Jo...

Max and Ross dissect a thrilling day's cricket as Jadeja's spin, Bumrah's swing and Thakur's magic saw India to a very impressive win. The day started with all results on the table, but by tea there was only one outcome possible after India's bowlers put on a masterclass - while England's batsmen put on their on show of how not to save a test match. What's wrong with England? What was the defining...

England v India rumbles on, with the teams heading to the Oval for the fourth Test of the series. After being bowled out for 78 questions are being asked about this India side, whilst just a week ago everyone was predicting 4-0. Do they have the mentality to bounce back and take an unassaiblable lead this week? England meanwhile are boyant! However, they will need to make changes as Jos Buttler dr...

Max and Dan Weston take on the duty of reviewing the second day's play between India and England. Joe Root scored yet another century (thats's seven since Kohli last scored one, by the way) to leave England with a huge first innings lead despite a late flurry of wickets.  How good is daddy Root? Where do India go from here? And what did Dan dream about the destiny of this test? Our Twitter and Ins...

England and India rumbles on, with the team travelling to Leeds for the Third Test at Headingley. England will make a lot of changes, some forced some not, with SIbley and Wood definitely out. We expect Malan and Mahmood to come in as replacements, with a possible further change if Curran drops out for Craig Overton. India meanwhile should probably keep the same XI, but may mix things up with Ashw...

India took a famous victory against England in the second Test of their five match series, at the home of cricket, Lord's. Going into the final day all four results were possible, but a brilliant partnership from Bumrah and Shami gave India a commanding lead. To draw the game England only needed to bat 60 overs, however that was too much for them as Siraj, Bumrah and co. ran riot to give India a 1...

Max is joined by Dan Weston to go over the 4th day's play in the second test at Lord's. England won the morning and the evening, but Pujara and Rahane's vigils have left things finely balanced.

England take on India in the second Test of their five match series. India will be looking for revenge after their last trip to Lords ended in disaster. England meanwhile are in a crisis. Anderson and Broad are injured, it looks like Moeen is back in the side, and absolutely nobody (besides Root) can bat.  With many storyline afoot, it should be a thriller!

England took on India at Trent Bridge in the first Test of the series. A game that seesawed either way looked like it was India's to win until the rain came down on day five and ruined everything. During the Test England batted terribly, around Joe Root, who batted wonderfully. Meanwhile Bumrah was on fire for India, as he almost single handidly ran through the England order in the second innings....
