The Women's ODI World Cup is underway with Australia defeating New Zealand in their first game of the tournament. Take a look at how the Aussies and the English and shaping up for the tournament. Australia's men start their T20 series against New Zealand with a win. But does a broken arm sustained during training in the lead up the series mean we've seen the last of Glenn Maxwell. Chris Woakes has called time on his international career after being left out of England's Ashes squad. Plus the English Lions pick their squad for a winter tour of Australia, the County Championship comes to an end and I point out why England great Geoffrey Boycott is wrong for saying "I don't think the Aussies are that great".
