'Serious Boshing' – the Week Records Tum...

About this episode

England broke their own world record for the highest one-day international total, making 481 runs off 50 overs against Australia at Trent Bridge.

In professional cricket, only Surrey have got closer to 500, when they scored 496 at the Oval and only New Zealand Women's team have scored more in an ODI, when they hit Ireland for 490 earlier this month.

We ask, which team will reach the 500 mark first?

The Acting Chief Executive Officer of Cricket South Africa, Thabang Moroe, believes that the country's women and men cricketers should be treated equally, and therefore, must be paid the same. But not everyone agrees.

In an article, former South Africa Test batsman Boeta Dippenaar said men are rightly paid more - comments which have drawn a backlash from several of the county's leading female players. Dippenaar joined us on the show to explain why he feels it is unrealistic to expect female and male cricketers to be paid the same.

And we hear from Afghanistan's teenage sensation Rashid Khan following his country's Test debut in India.
