What's our age again?

This week, with Tony away doing some intensive work on his batting, Adam soldiers on and delivers a comprehensive preview of England v New Zealand.

Watch out world, it’s the World Cricket Show.

Brimful of World Cricket Show on the 45.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony deliver a staggeringly comprehensive preview of England's Test series in New Zealand. Is Nick Compton the right man to open? Or should Joe Root be promoted? And with Broad and Onions out of form, has a sudden lack of depth in the pace department been exposed?

24 Jan 2014Episode 20800:48:00

Charity begins at home.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss a good old-fashioned ICC fiasco. Are the proposals for the future of Test cricket a genuine attempt to bring some clarity and leadership to the game? Or just a cynical attempt to boost BCCI, ECB and CA revenues?

In addition, there's (reluctant) discussion of a good old-fashioned England cricket team fiasco in Australia. With the one-day series gone now too, is it time to get Alastair Cook's head on a spike?

Adam & Tony discuss the second Test between India and England in Chennai, which somehow produced a record number of talking points despite ending in a straightforward win for India.

And is it time for the third umpire's role to be reviewed?

Plus, thoughts on another thrilling Test in Bangladesh, as West Indies claim a rare series win away from home.

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? Is this the best way to involve the minnows? Should we even be calling them 'minnows'?

There's then a painstaking team-by-team rundown of everybody's prospects. Have England ever had less of a chance at a global tournament? Are Australia the favourites? Or will West Indies defend their title?

It's one small step for the World Cricket Show, one giant leap for mankind.

We need to talk about Kevin. Yes we do.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony dissect KP: The Autobiography (which is not an autobiography).

Sinking ever deeper into nostalgia, Adam & Tony cast their minds back to 2001, and India's incredible series victory over Steve Waugh's great Australian side. At the time it was hailed as one of the best Test series of all time - 19 years later, does that still seem true? And can you trace the rise of modern Indian cricket back to that moment?

They then jump forward a few short months to the summer of 2001, when Adam, Tony, and London correspondent Gordon Macrae were involved in some cricketing action of their own that was equally unforgettable.

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. Proof, if any more were needed, that they're the best team in the world? Did everyone get a bit carried away after Centurion? Is Dale Steyn one of the best of all time? And has a human being ever been as pumped up as he was on the final afternoon?

In addition, there's a discussion of cricket and homosexuality. Steven Davies came out three years ago, but he remains out on his own. Why are there no other openly gay cricketers? Does cricket have as big a problem as football?

Plus, analysis of every other team. After their World T20 success, are West Indies the team to beat? Will Sri Lanka be there or thereabouts again? Are Australia outsiders? And could India be described as dark horses?

08 Jan 2014Episode 207 - Sydney Report00:48:09

Good grief.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony attempt to make sense of Australia's 5-0 drubbing of England. After a desperate performance in Sydney, is it time for wholesale changes to the England team? Is KP's neck on the block? And is the Australian bowling attack the best in the world?

Plus, Adam selects arguably the most straightforward composite XI of his career, and goes off on one about how much Jonathan Agnew annoys him.

Can England's batsmen muster up something better in Perth? Or are the Aussie bowlers simply too good?

Plus, Tony delivers more good good analysis, and Adam impresses everybody with how early he gets up.

As England's tour of the Caribbean comes to an end, Adam & Tony look back on the tour. What shape are England in with 3 months til the World Cup? Could Chris Jordan make a late push for selection? And after a dreadful performance in the T20 series, how do things look for Jason Holder's West Indies?

Plus, thoughts on Australia's impressive performance in India, some belated thoughts on Kusal Perera's heroics, and Tom Harrison fully takes leave of his senses.

11 Feb 2015Episode 241 - World Cup Preview Special00:51:58

World Cup time. World Cricket Show time.

 

On their World Cup Preview Special, Adam and Tony look ahead to six weeks of non-stop cricket. They're both excited - does that make them idiots?

 

They ask all the big questions, and even answer a couple of them. Can anyone stop Australia? Will England disgrace themselves? Will West Indies fall apart? And will any of the minnows (don't call them minnows) pull off a shock?

 

Plus, the WCS fantasy league is up and running - get involved with the pin code 22025.

 

It's both exhaustive and exhaustive - it's the World Cricket Show World Cup Preview.

20 Sep 2012Episode 15400:49:12

Off we go again.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on the opening matches of the World Twenty20. Sri Lanka and Australia recorded convincing wins, but can you read much into victories over the minnows? Ajantha Mendis was sensational, but will he carry on that form against better teams? And how much of a fright did Afghanistan give India?

In addition, there's a look ahead to some of the upcoming matches. Can Bangladesh upset the Kiwis? And are England ready to begin the defence of their crown?

Also this week:

Adam has lost all patience with Nick Knight

We're up all night to get something.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony are reunited to discuss the eventful first Test at Lord's. England ended up winning convincingly, but was the margin deceptive? What happened to New Zealand's batting? Is Stuart Broad back to his best? And has Joe Root hammered yet another nail into Nick Compton's coffin?

In addition, there's analysis of the troubling news from India, where three IPL players have been arrested for spot fixing. What's the way forward now? And is the players the problem?

Also this week:

Adam's become alarmingly obsessed with the new Daft Punk song

Dave Warner loses the plot

More jauntily reductive impressions of various parts of the world where they talk funny

Tony struggles to pronounce another relatively straightforward name

The World Cricket Show has got all the momintum!

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss the breathless opening to the World Twenty20. Which teams have impressed so far? What the blazes happened in that Netherlands v Ireland game? Did England get screwed over by the weather? Should the umpires have brought the players off earlier than they did? And who's going to make it to the semi-finals?

Adam & Tony look back on another excellent Test match at Old Trafford, where England bounced back to level their series with West Indies. Is Dom Sibley the real deal? Was Stuart Broad out to prove a point? And just how good is Ben Stokes?

Plus, thoughts on West Indies' abrupt change in fortunes and whether it's the end of the road for Shai Hope, and we put our bodies on the line for the sake of the podcast in what is most certainly not a day at the beach.

04 Dec 2012Episode 16300:46:44

Tis the season....for cricket and stuff.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on South Africa's crushing win in Perth. Was this a case of the real South Africa turning up at last? Or do the Aussies have cause to be disappointed? Not the way Ricky Ponting would have wanted to sign off his career - how much will Australia miss him? And where does he sit in the pantheon of great players?

In addition, there's a look ahead to the Test match in Kolkata, and analysis of Ashley Giles' appointment as England limited overs coach. Is two coaches a sensible idea? Or could it lead to problems down the road?

Also this week:

TONY'S BIG BREAK.

He's been phoning it in for weeks but this time Adam is actually on the other end of a line.

On this week's pod, Tony sits in as host for some beach-side analysis of England's win in Southampton and the lads look ahead to a Test that's probably already over.

Also on the show, Adam's got the holiday blues, and Tony fails to break up a fight between Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber.

01 Mar 2021Episode 366 - India v England #300:53:00

Adam & Tony look back on a breakneck third Test between India and England in Ahmedabad. The shortest Test since 1935 - what the HELL happened here? Was the pitch to blame? Or are England (and India to an extent) just bad at batting? Did England get their selection wrong, and if so did it matter? And is Ashwin underrated?

Plus, Tony finally gets his big break.

16 Jul 2014Episode 226 - Trent Bridge Report00:36:17

Vite! Vite! C'est le World Cricket Show!

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss the draw at Trent Bridge. Lots of talking points and a world record last-wicket partnership, but ultimately was this a pretty dull game? How far was the pitch to blame? And should we be concerned about the state of English in general?

Plus, analysis of Simon Kerrigan's return, Ben Stokes's recall, and the Anderson/Jadeja bust-up.

Also this week:

Adam had a great time in Disnaylond

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss Kevin Pietersen's retirement from limited overs internationals. Are England fans right to be upset? How far are the ECB to blame? And is this a glimpse into the future?

Adam's been to london, where he played video games

Tony literally can't get enough of the Jubilee

In addition, there's one final trip Down Under to discuss the limited overs games there, plus an end-of-term report on Australia. Are they as good as they seem? And could they give South Africa a run for their money in the upcoming Test series?

One is the loneliest number....

On the pod this week, with Tony having swanned off to tour the stand-up circuit in the south of England, Adam soldiers on without him to deliver a comprehensive report on the Test match in Ahmedabad. Did Alastair Cook's extraordinary century rescue some momentum for England? Or will this go down as nothing other than a crushing win for India? And will things follow a similar pattern in Mumbai?

In addition, there's analysis of Sri Lanka's big win over New Zealand in Galle, and exciting buildup to the next Australia-South Africa Test in Adelaide. Can the Proteas turn things around? And is Shane Watson's Test future in jeopardy?

21 Apr 2015Episode 248 - Antigua Report00:47:42

May the fours be with you...

 

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss a surprisingly gripping draw in Antigua. England failed to finish the job on the final day - but should they blame themselves? Or just applaud Jason Holder and the West Indies?

 

Plus, James Anderson breaks some sort of record (though you probably haven't heard about it), and Rajasthan sweep all before them in the IPL.

 

Also this week:

Tony gets caught up in a birthday party (and ends up at the Randy Paddle)

07 Jul 2012Episode 14500:45:04

Welcome to cricket.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony get right in amongst England's one-day series with Australia, asking all the key questions. Have Australia been disappointing, or are England just too good? Has Ravi Bopara silenced his (occasionally quite vocal) critics? And will people ever get over the DRS?

In addition, there's discussion of cricket's recent holiday in Florida. Can cricket ever break America? If so, is this the way to go about it? And how much of an impact have the WCS stickers made on the situation?

Also this week:

Tony's terrifying driving

Questionable world record attempts

Adam falls, quite literally, over

Back together, this time forever.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reunite in the studio to discuss all the breaking cricket news, like the Test match at the Oval that happened 2 weeks ago. An astonishing turnaround in the series - how did it happen? Did something click for England? Or did India just implode?

Who was the biggest hero, Anderson, Root or Ballance? How did Kohli become such a villain? And should the selectors stick with Robson?

It's the World Cricket Show-ho-ho.

 

On a spectacular Christmas Special, Adam and Tony don their festive jumpers and talk about the thrilling Test in Adelaide. A win for Australia, a Clarke hundred, a breathless final day - after everything that led up to it, could the game have delivered anything more?

 

In addition, there's analysis of England's ongoing ODI struggles. After the Sri Lanka series, are there any reasons to think the World Cup won't be a disaster? Any at all?

 

Also this week:

An impromptu carol service

Adam's tough guy reputation takes a dent

Tony's getting more confused as he gets older

J'aime le World Cricket Show (moi non plus)

On the pod this week, with Tony off stuffing his face with baguettes and croissants in Paris, Adam soldiers desperately on without him to deliver full analysis of the Headingley Test. Were England wrong not to enforce the follow-on? Or does the result vindicate the decision? And should most commentators therefore be ashamed of themselves?

Plus, will Graeme Swann's form be giving the Aussies nightmares? And will Nick Compton cling on until Trent Bridge?

Also this week:

ASHES ASHES ASHES, the Ashes are over

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on the conclusion to the 2013 Ashes at the Oval. A peculiar Test ended in almost-thrilling but ultimately farcical circumstances - were the umpires wrong to bring the players off for the light? Who's this lad Shane Watson, and where has he been? And what was going on with England's team selection?

Plus, there's a look back at the whole series. Is 3-0 a fair scoreline, or will Australia feel hard done by? Who's got the momentum ahead of the return series? And who's won a coveted place in Adam's composite XI?

Also this week:

Tony manages to annoy Adam in numerous ways over the bank holiday weekend

Colds ain't gonna bring us down.

There's a surprisingly optimistic feeling around the side - are the Aussies right to be so confident? Are they a better side than they were 6 months ago? And crucially, which Mitchell Johnson will turn up?

Plus, Adam does everyone a favour and picks a composite XI, and Mystic Meg, aka Tony, gives his scoreline prediction for the series.

08 Nov 2012Episode 15900:50:10

Elect this.

On the pod this week, Adam and Tony set aside their differences and reach across the aisle to deliver a comprehensive preview of the marquee series between Australia and South Africa. Can the Aussie pace attack replicate the performances of a year ago? Can the Proteas keep up their world-beating form? And will Hashim Amla get out at any point?

Meanwhile, things are hotting up in India, with the first England Test now right up in everybody's grill. Did the tourists learn anything substantial from their second warm-up game? Are we any closer to settling the opener debate? Might Jonathan Trott be a good option at the top?

Is Pat Cummins the right man to lead Australia? How much pressure is on Joe Root? Have England got enough firepower in their bowling? And in a deeply uncertain time, is the only certainty that there will of course be a 5-0 whitewash?

Plus, more thoughts on the racism scandal engulfing English cricket, and a sadly too brief word on India v New Zealand.
