Week 2: all action, unless you’re watching England.
We’re not enjoying the IPL quite as much as we hoped.
The team tries to discuss the Australian Ashes squad without suffering from Marcus North flashbacks, with mixed results. Plus Chris Gayle vs. Graham Gooch and Aussie Matt belittling the finest English ODI innings of all time.
Guess who’s back?
It’s nearly crunch time in the Big Bash. Not quite yet though, which means it’s still acceptable to miss a game or two to hang around with the missus at Christmas.
Another day in the World T20 and the coaching staff are reaching for their calculators.
Alex Hales has the sort of name that headline writers love. Luckily for them, he made some runs as well, as England made their highest ever successful T20I chase to wrap up a comprehensive beating of the West Indies.
