About this episode
CRUNCH TIME. The World Cup has reached the knockout stage and the boys are glued to the action. Join Jack, and Max as they dissect everything from the semi-final line-ups: Who's the biggest threat? What's the dark horse factor? And did the group stage confirm a clear favourite or is this still anyone's game? We break down the key matchups, player form, and make some questionable predictions. Then, there’s chaos in the Test arena. Pat Cummins has been ruled OUT of the First Test. It’s the news no one expected and it throws a massive spanner in the works. What does this injury mean for the bowling attack? Who steps up as Captain? And, crucially, is this the moment the whole campaign swings? Tune in for the usual sharp analysis, humorous debate, and a detailed look at all of cricket's major stories. Whether it’s white-ball glory or the drama of the Test summer, we’ve got you covered.
