S4 E5 - Jofra’s back!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! The World Cup has not gone to plan for England thus far. Michael and Rob catch up with their friend Dom to discuss where it's all gone wrong, and also to contemplate the future of 50-over cricket as a whole!

Michael and Rob catch up to discuss the opening rounds of the Cricket World Cup.

Was it a moral victory for England? Is Zak Crawley one of the all times greats? Should they ever play Test cricket in Manchester again? When will Jimmy call it a day? Is the Foakes-Bairstow debate over? There is so much for Michale, Rob and their Aussie mate Alex to dissect following this all time classic Ashes series! 

3 down, 2 to go. Australia may lead 2-1 but could it be that England are about to complete one of the greatest cricketing comebacks ever? Michael and Rob are joined by Melbourne's own Alex Brebner-Griffin to get an Australian perspective on the Ashes so far. Was stumping-gate out of order? How popular is Pat Cummins? Why are we called "Whingeing Poms"? All this and more as we preview the final two Tests.

It’s been a while since their last pod… but the Hit for Six boys are back to discuss that stumping, that Long Room altercation and that Ben Stokes innings. Were Australia fair enough to claim the wicket? Or was it just not cricket? There’s also plenty more to discuss from the opening two tests. Should England really be 2-0 down? Can they come back or have the Ashes gone? Plenty to discuss and there’s still three tests to go!

Michael and Rob reflect on a sensational finish to the second and final Test of England's tour in New Zealand. Did England bottle it? Where New Zealand worthy winners? Or was it simply that "cricket was the winner"?

Another bi-lateral ODI series, another defeat for England. Have England lost their touch or are they saving their best from for the World Cup? Michael and Rob discuss who played well, who didn't and how Jofra being back good be a game changer! They also look ahead to the Test series in New Zealand

Wow! What a series victory for England in Pakistan... There is plenty for Michael and Rob to discuss as they dissect two remarkable Test Matches. How good is England's middle order now? Will Jimmy Anderson play forever? And just how old is Rehan Ahmed's Dad? Also, if you do want to know more about Rob's thoughts on the sacking of Eddie Jones, you can read about it here: https://robstileman.wordpress.com/2022/12/07/why-it-was-right-for-the-rfu-to-say-goodbye-to-eddie-jones/
