There's a lot going on in the world of cricket right now, and the Top Order Podcast have a bumper episode to celebrate getting past the tricky 87. In our 88th episode of the show, the team cover:
The cancellation of England's tour to South Africa, what that means for the Proteas, the impact for the BBL and whether the ICC needs to take charge.
We then turn our attention to the Black Caps/West Indies series, where Kane Williamson is playing a different game than everyone else right now. The NZ attack of Southee, Boult, Wagner and Jamieson gets plenty of credit for a great all-round performance, and what can the West Indies do to bounce back?
The India/Australia series is saved for last, but there's plenty to discuss. Concussions on both sides have caused shake-ups in team lineups, and we break down "like-for-like". Justin Langer and Virat Kohli are pumped up, Ajinkya Rahane is his usual self and Cameron Green has stood tall in the warm-ups, while Baldy has an unusual take on the Australian top order for the first Test.
