Episode 374 - Ashes Preview

The Ashes are here! And Adam & Tony have got the comprehensive lowdown on all the teams taking part.

Is Pat Cummins the right man to lead Australia? How much pressure is on Joe Root? Have England got enough firepower in their bowling? And in a deeply uncertain time, is the only certainty that there will of course be a 5-0 whitewash?


Plus, more thoughts on the racism scandal engulfing English cricket, and a sadly too brief word on India v New Zealand.


All this and more on the latest World Cricket Show. Stand by for Ashes Daily. Maybe.
