World Cricket Show

Partying partying yeah! On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss the departure of Andy Flower. Is a change of coach the right step for English cricket? And who takes over now? 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? Also this week: It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday Tony won't let anyone see his Tinder profile Adam spent his childhood watching someone else play SSX Tricky Tony regularly uses the podcast to impress women All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - when will we ever learn?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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? Also this week: Tony doesn't know how tall St Paul's Cathedral is, and it costs Adam money A WCS T-shirt turns up in an unlikely place There's nothing funnier than a pantomime Blue Monday comes and goes, and Adam doesn't sleep a wink All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - get on board.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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. Also this week: Adam has an underwhelming start to 2014 Tony is a bit of a sad sack A comprehensive preview of the one-day series Wet January begins Tony's taking this sh*t to the pontoon All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - the Ashes are over, thank God for that.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Start 2014 as you mean to go on - by listening to two idiots on the internet. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on YET ANOTHER Ashes hammering for England in Melbourne. After getting themselves into a winning position, was this the most disappointing performance yet? And does it cast doubt on the futures of the captain and coach? Plus, was Graeme Swann selfish to retire and leave his team-mates in the lurch? In addition, they discuss a thrilling Test series in South Africa, and wonder whether Jacques Kallis ought to be considered the greatest cricketer of his generation (or possibly ever). Also this week: Adam made it back from Paris, to everyone's relief Tony got clothes for Christmas, and isn't happy about it New Year is almost always rubbish Adam's brother is trying to ruin Adam's life All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - the Jacques Kallis of podcasts, whatever that...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ho ho hopeless in Australia. On a very special 2013 Christmas Special, Adam and Tony glumly don their Santa hats and reflect on England's loss of the Ashes in Perth. How have Australia been able to turn things around so comprehensively? Mitchell Johnson has been crucial, but has the most pivotal player in fact been Brad Haddin? As for England, where do they go from here? Has Pietersen played one stupid shot too many? Is it the end of the road for some of the other senior players? Or should the selectors resist the temptation for wholesale changes? Also this week: Adam's dentist is definitely going to have a good Christmas 2013's hottest celebrities join in the festive celebrations in the studio The WCS photo shoot gets everyone in the Christmas spirit Adam looks forward to spending the Big Day in a capsule hotel at the airport All this and more on the 2013 Christmas Special - please sir, can we have the...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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? Why are their brains so scrambled? Why do their batsmen keep getting caught on the leg-side? And is there any conceivable way they can turn things around? Let's not forget about Australia - what have been the catalysts for their revival? Is it all about Mitchell Johnson? Or is the key to it all actually Ryan Harris? Also this week: Tony wows the crowds as Woody at the Christmas parade Adam has a Vicky Pollard moment Tony almost has a Paula Radcliffe moment Cutting edge satire about Terminal 5 Adam bumps into loads of his old teachers, but the only thing they want to talk about is Tony All this and more on the latest episode of the World Cricket Show - yeah but no but yeah but no but tell your friends.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Reach for the skies.... On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on the carnage at the Gabba. Where did the Aussies produce that performance from? Is this the real Mitchell Johnson? Plus, where do England go from here? Can they dust themselves off, and sort out their struggling batting unit? In addition, they reflect on the sad news about Jonathan Trott, and disagree about whether David Warner was out of order, and whether Clarke and Anderson crossed the line with their sledging. Also this week: Adam missed most of the cricket because he was doing domestic chores Every day is Tony's special day Ashes Breakfast can be hard to follow Tony reveals which character he's going to be dressing up as in the Christmas parade All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - get better England, for goodness sake.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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. 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. Also this week: Tony's got a cold Adam's got a cold Mr Tendulkar finally clears off, in front of the Hairy Bikers and Jason Orange Adam plays one of his five annual games of tennis Tony swears in front of some children All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - snuggle up under the duna and give it a listen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ASHES ASHES ASHES IT'S THE ASHES AGAIN On the pod this week, with only somewhere between 6 and 15 days to go before the Ashes, Adam and Tony kick off their preview in earnest with full analysis of England's chances. After winning by such a comfortable margin in the summer, are they big favourites for this series too? Or are there serious concerns over the injury list and the strength of the batting? In addition, there's a look ahead to Mr Tendulkar's final Test match. Has he saved something special for Mumbai? And has there ever been a series where the actual cricket has mattered as little as this? Also this week: Adam's bought all the Rice Krispies he needs for the winter Tony's got a new book out Everybody cries buckets of tears over the John Lewis Christmas ad Tony stitches Adam up in a Chinese restaurant (#brillgate) All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - otherwise known as Test Match...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We did it! On a very special 200th Episode Special, Adam and Tony reflect in arguably self-indulgent fashion on where they came from, where they are, and where they're going. There are answers to literally every question you've ever wanted to ask, plus plenty you didn't. Including - how much of Episode 1 does Tony remember? What does Adam do for a living? And does Tony use the show to impress girls? In addition, both hosts select their post-Atherton World XIs and discuss the reasons they failed to make it as professional cricketers, and there's even time for some actual cricket discussion, with a look at England's warm-up matches in Australia.

Run for your lives! The World Cricket Show's coming to get you! On this terrifying Halloween Special, Adam and Tony reflect on a seesaw Test series in the UAE. Has there ever been a more unpredictable team than Pakistan? Did South Africa start off undercooked? Is Imran Tahir back for good? And will Pakistan ever find any good new batsmen?

There's always thyme for a World Cricket Show. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on the career of Sachin Tendulkar - you may not have heard about this, but he's decided to retire.

Get out of the way, the World Cricket Show's coming through. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony look ahead to the looming Test series between Pakistan and South Africa in the UAE. After a demoralising whitewash in South Africa, can Pakistan get some revenge in more familiar conditions? Will Saeed Ajmal do to the Proteas what he did to England? Or will Steyn and co simply be too strong? In addition, Afghanistan get to the World Cup and Steve Harmison retires, and Adam and Tony have a good old natter about it all. Also this week: Adam loses the plot in the accent department, in a big way The triumphant return of the body boarding anecdotes Afghanistan's win gives Russell Howard plenty to get his teeth into Tony's been having lots of good clean fun on GTA V As far as video games are concerned, Adam still thinks it's 1998 All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - just because we use...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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 The summer comes to an end in more ways than one Tim Bresnan really ought to be careful Adam hits a six.

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on England's dramatic, Ashes-sealing win at Chester-Le-Street. Has Stuart Broad ever bowled better? Has Ian Bell ever batted better? And does the win lay to rest any doubts about whether England have truly earned the urn? Despite being 3-0 up, there are still concerns. What's going on with the top order batting? Who is England's number 3, and what has he done with Jonathan Trott? And in the final analysis, was the decision to promote Joe Root a mistake?

Raindrops keep falling on our heads. Or something. On the pod this week, Adam and Captain Banter reflect on the Old Trafford Test, where England retained the Ashes in the most thrilling style imaginable. Australia's comeback was thwarted by the weather - but could they have done anything more to force the win? England were outplayed - should they be worried? And what does Australia's impressive performance mean for the rest of the series? Everyone's still talking about DRS. Are there problems with Hot Spot? Or is it all just a case of bad umpiring? And would bringing in non-neutral umpires solve that problem? Also this week: Tony finds a pizza that changes everything Adam's brain can't come up with anything topical Sympathy for Botham Tony really shouldn't have kids All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - your one-stop shop for bantering around.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ASHES ASHES ASHES ROYAL BABY ASHES On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on England's thumping win at Lord's. Where do Australia go from here? What do they do about their batting? Does Michael Clarke need to bat higher? And is there anyone they can SOS?

Do the walk, do the walk of life. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony reflect on a sensational Test match at Trent Bridge. Where does this rank on the list of all-time Ashes contests? Did the best team win? And how will the result affect the shape of the series? Plus, where did this Ashton Agar kid come from? Has Jimmy Anderson ever bowled better? And should Stuart Broad have walked? Also this week: It's nice weather, and Tony's literally never been happier The sun and the Ashes are making Adam behave like a child Nasser Hussain cares about all the wrong things Tony's not a fan of the Bayfield Impressions Corner All this and more on the latest edition of the World Cricket Show - buy a T-shirt at www.cricketshow.net  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

All over it like a towel on a sunbed. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony conclude their award-winning two-part Ashes preview with a thorough rundown of England's prospects. Is the Compton/Root switch a sensible move, or a bit of a gamble? Will Pietersen boss the series? Will Anderson and Swann be too strong for the Aussies? And are England really the overwhelming favourites that everyone's assuming? In addition, Guernsey captain Jamie Nussbaumer talks on the phone about the ICC European Division One Championships in Sussex. Having beaten Norway, are Guernsey firmly on the road to Bangladesh?
