The World Cup is absolutely ruthless and so is the weather. It's all to play for as we head into the second week of round fixtures. Do New Zealand have a loss in them? Can Australia overturn their NRR? How did England lose to Ireland? South Africa is doing something good and Pakistan is out. Far Du Plessis describes the culture of the dressing room when he first started playing and we discuss a few eye-catching quotes from Tim Paine's new book too. #AskTGC asks what's going on with MyCricket and PlayHQ. It's all very serious stuff.
