And who on earth is going to be the spinner? In addition, there's di...

Please sir, can we have some Moores? On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss England's new old coach. Does Peter Moores represent a bold new era, or a backward step?

And who's going to make it to the semi-finals? Al...

Cricket! Cricket everywhere! On the pod this week, Adam and Tony look ahead to the World T20 (which has already started). Have the ICC got the format right this year?

He's had an extraordinary career - does he go down as an...

A long time ago, we used to be friends.... On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss South Africa's Alan Partridge-esque bouncebackability after their win in Port Elizabeth.

And could they give South Africa a run for their money in th...

Charity begins at home. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss a good old-fashioned ICC fiasco.

As for England, where do they go from here? Has Pietersen played one s...

Yeah but no but yeah but no but there's a snake in my boots! On the pod this week, Adam and Tony sift through the wreckage of another England capitulation at Adelaide. What has happened to this team?

Colds ain't gonna bring us down. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony deliver characteristically razor-sharp analysis of Australia's Ashes chances.

And does Tony use the show to impress girl...
