Ed and Corbin dive into the fiery fallout from the fourth Test in Manchester, where India snubbed Ben Stokes's offer to shake hands - choosing instead to chase runs with Washington Sundar closing in on a maiden ton. 

Whose side are we on? Is England turning into the villains of the game? And what does this all mean for the Ashes later this summer?

With Ed Cowan out sick, Corbin Middlemas calls up World Cup winner Xavier Doherty to join us this week! 

The pair unpack the early takeaways from the West Indies T20 series, from Jake Fraser-McGurk’s rocky recall to Mitchell Owen’s debut, and why this might just be the best fielding team Australia has ever put on a cricket field.
