The Last Wicket

This week, the Cricket Guys take aim at the umpire's call within the ubiquitous Decision Review System (DRS) and try to understand it's role in the modern game. We explore it's background, the science beyond it's technology, potential improvements, and the ways the system has changed the game, as told through numbers - all while taking potshots at certain sections of broadcast teams. We also take a glance at news that 'almost' passed us by in our brand new 'Meanwhile'

For our series premiere, we take a look at England's track record against playing spin in India and the approach that could bring about improved results for them in the upcoming test series against India. We also hear from English cricket blogger James Marsh about his thoughts on the England squad for the first two tests against India, and we take a look back at some of the more memorable moments in past India vs England encounters.
