World Cricket Show

"Oh, infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!" Adam & Tony bring you the definitive verdict on the Ben Stokes melodrama at Trent Bridge. What was that all about? And what happens next - who should be captain, and what will England do without a world-class all-rounder? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam & Tony discuss the baffling turn of events that have put Ben Stokes's career in serious jeopardy. Is this the end for the England captain? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam & Tony discuss the ECB's decision to stick with Brendan McCullum and Rob Key. After the Ashes debacle, should heads have rolled? Or do they just about have enough credit in the bank? Plus, a somewhat belated review of the T20 World Cup, which turned out to be a much better tournament than anyone expected. All this and more on the latest World Cricket Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/p...

Adam & Tony look ahead to the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. Out of nowhere, we've got a cricket World Cup on our hands - and it's the most global tournament ever. What can we expect? Can anyone stop India? And have England actually got a chance? Plus, thoughts on the Brook fiasco - a debacle on top of a debacle on top of a debacle. All this and more on the latest World Cricket Show. Ho...

Adam & Tony conduct an inquest into another whomping humiliation for England in Australia. Hopes were high coming into the series - was that optimism misplaced, or did England truly blow an opportunity? Is McCullum to blame? What role did 'Boozeball' play? And should Stokes carry on? Plus, thoughts on a curious series for Australia - 4-1 winners, some all-time great performances from their all...

Adam & Tony discuss an extremely rare event - an England win in Australia. After 15 years and 18 Tests, they've finally done it - but how much can we really read into a two-day shootout? And with Sydney fast approaching, jobs are on the line - but to save their bacon, do Baz and Keysie actually need England to lose? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After 11 crazy days, it's all over - Australia have won the Ashes. Again. Adam & Tony begin the post-mortem on England's disastrous tour, asking all the big questions. Where did it all go wrong? Is it time for sweeping changes? Stokes out? McCullum out? Or are the problems deeper than that? And then an increasingly urgent question - is the Ashes actually any good? Plus, it's hats off to a rema...

Adam & Tony discuss a grim few days in Brisbane for England. What has gone so terribly wrong? Why are the tactics so bad? Why are they so lacking in intensity? And despite everything - is there actually still hope? Plus, thoughts on a remarkable team performance from Australia - a wicket-keeping masterclass from Alex Carey, and an absolute all-timer from Mitchell Starc. All this and more on th...

Adam & Tony review a brilliant day of Test cricket in Brisbane. A historic century for Root, more wickets for Mitchell Starc, some brilliant fielding by Australia, and runs for Zak Crawley - England's day? Or are we just not used to it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam & Tony reflect on a jaw-dropping first Ashes Test in Perth. England humbled in two days - what went wrong? Amidst stiff competition, is this the worst defeat in Australia in their recent history? Should they be playing the pink-ball warm-up in Canberra? Or is it possible there's been a slight overreaction in the media? Plus, thoughts on Travis Head's historic century, and whether there's...

Adam and Tony review a breathless opening day in Perth. 19 wickets fell - the most in an Ashes Test since 1909. Who's on top heading into the second and (possibly final!) day? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the Ashes! Adam & Tony bring you the ultimate preview of the 2025-26 Ashes, answering all the big questions. Do England actually have a chance? Are Australia over the hill? Will Root score a hundred? Will Bashir take a wicket? And will we manage to stay awake to see any of it? Plus, thoughts on England's low-key preparations and TNT's planned coverage, and we make promises we almost certa...

Adam & Tony discuss two things: the 2005 Ashes, and the Hundred. One they like, one not so much. No spoilers which is which. 20 years on, is 2005 the greatest series of all time? Could another series ever be better, or is that physically impossible? And how many Bazballers would get in the 2005 side? All this and more on the latest World Cricket Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

Adam & Tony deliver the definitive Verdict on a truly breathtaking Test series between England and India. The best series since 2005? Was 2-2 a fair result? And is this England team still going in the right direction? Plus, thoughts on Root's new records, the fantastic Sky coverage, and the deeply affecting tributes to Graham Thorpe. All this and more on the latest World Cricket Show. Hosted o...

Adam & Tony discuss the drawn Test at Old Trafford, another fantastic instalment of an enthralling series between England and India. How did India pull off the great escape? Did England let them off the hook? And, with the Oval imminent, who's got the momentum? Plus, thoughts on the 'beef' at the end of the game. A stain on Stokes's and England's reputation? Or a big fuss about nothing? All th...

Adam & Tony unpack India's mammoth win at Edgbaston. Is Shubman Gill having a Graeme Smith summer? Are England bad again? Do they need a whole new bowling attack? And should this be the end for Shoaib Bashir? Plus, important updates on Guernsey's quest to qualify for next year's T20 World Cup. All this and more on the latest World Cricket Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more i...

Adam & Tony reflect on a magnificent Test match at Headingley. Records tumbled as England chased 370 on the final day - how do they keep making these extraordinary chases seem so routine? Has Duckett become one of the best players in the world? Has Pope put the Bethell debate to bed? And how do India bounce back from here? Plus, some final thoughts on the World Test Championship, after South A...

Adam & Tony look ahead to Australia v South Africa at Lord's - the third edition of Test cricket's showpiece event. Are Australia big favourites? Are South Africa lucky to be in the final, or actually a better team than some think? And is the World Test Championship fit for purpose, or is there room to make it better? Plus, thoughts on England's resounding win over Zimbabwe. An innings win ins...

Adam & Tony deliver the definitive preview of the one-off Test between England and Zimbabwe. It's Zimbabwe's first Test in England for 22 years - can they give the home side a run for their money? How will England's new-look bowling attack fare? And will Richard Johnson have anything to say about it? Plus, we speak to author Tim Wigmore about his fantastic new book, Test Cricket: A History. Ti...

Adam & Tony discuss Harry Brook's appointment as England's new white-ball captain. The right choice? Or another case of overburdening your best player? And what was going on with all that chat about Ben Stokes? They also try to make sense of the IPL as it stumbles towards the halfway stage, and give a few suggestions for improvements that will doubtless be welcomed by the organisers. All this...

Adam & Tony reflect on the 2025 Champions Trophy. They start with an apology - after talking up this tournament on their preview show, in the end will it go down as a big disappointment? Has any host nation ever had a worse experience than Pakistan? Did India have an unfair advantage, and if so is that why they won? And what do New Zealand have to do to lift one of these trophies? Plus, though...

Adam & Tony deliver the definitive preview of the Champions Trophy, which is back after an 8-year absence. It's a strange competition, and it's come and gone and come and gone - but does it actually have a case for being the best tournament in cricket? We also discuss the problematic hosting situation, before getting into the detail on the pitch. Will England get out of the group? And can anyo...

Adam & Tony open up the old mailbag and tackle some cracking questions from listeners. Starting with 4-day Tests - a crime against cricket? Or could they actually take the sport in a positive direction? Plus, thoughts on cricket's Olympic comeback at LA 2028. Will it be a gamechanger for the sport, and even for the Olympics? And will there be a repeat of the 1900 final? (Spoiler alert - probab...

Adam & Tony reflect on a momentous win for Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Aussies now hold every 'trophy' they compete for in Test cricket - should we be talking about them (and Captain Cummins) as amongst the best of all time? Plus, is Scott Boland on his way to becoming one of Australia's favourite sons? And what went wrong for India? Is Kohli finished? There's also a debrief o...

Adam and Tony review two sensational Boxing Day Test matches, starting at the MCG where a world record crowd saw Australia defeat India. How have the Aussies turned things around? Is Smith back to his best? Is Konstas the future? And what's gone wrong for India? Next, another thriller in Centurion, where South Africa dragged themselves over the line to defeat Pakistan by 2 wickets. Should we be ta...
