Major League Bazball: The Cricket-Baseball Crossover Special
We follow Harry Brook and Liam Plunkett in an attempt to switch codes and do a bit of baseball.

They explain why Ben Duckett’s scoop is nasty, how Chris Woakes is an icon, and why the Czech Republic are baseball's ones to watch. Plus a Mattchin quiz featuring baseball legends Randy Sam, Alexis "Sombrero" del Fuente, and Hot Steve.

Women’s Test Review and Bye Bye Baz
Tailenders tech chaos this week as Greg sneaks off from holiday to present live from a southern French location whose WiFi only allows 5 minute cameos. When he does freeze, Felix steps in like Dan Burn to cover his teammate. Issy Wong runs us through an emotionally draining weekend at Lord’s, featuring retirements for Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont, Sophia Ecclestone’s name on the Honours Boards, and ultimately a convincing India victory… and some kerfuffle over a Rubik’s Cube. There was also a men’s team announcement in the midst of it; Sir Jimmy Anderson reflects on the cherished early years of the Brendon McCullum era and the impact of the unloved ‘Bazball’ moniker.

Tennis, Tomatoes and Tay Tay
Aside from spending time in the Wimbledon Royal Box, Greg and Jimmy have had equally glamorous weeks - Greg at the wedding of the century in New York, and Jimmy tending to his tomato plants. Revealing insights are shared into both. We've all had time to digest the captaincy news, so attention now turns to who should be the lead in 'Ben Stokes: The Musical' - Damian Lewis or Max from EastEnders? Issy Wong chats to Felix about the England Women's T20 final, the first ever Women’s test match at Lords, and the latest on her sticker book; while Mattchin asks Jimmy to dissect some more unpopular cricket opinions.
