Bumrah bowls England back down to Earth

The Telegraph
About this episode

After a thrilling month of red ball cricket for England, it has been a week to forget for the white ball side.

Jos Buttler's opening T20 series as captain against India ended in a 2-1 defeat and his first ODI against the same opponent could not have gone much worse. The World Champions were bowled out for just 110 with Roy, Root and Stokes all going for ducks. Micheal, Phil and Ben unpack the thrashing and ask if it is simply a blip or if major surgery is needed with the T20 World Cup less than 100 days away.

Our guest this week is India spin bowling legend Ravi Ashwin, he speaks at length about his concerns for the one day game, his thoughts on 'Bazball" and what can be done in England to develop more spinners moving forward.

Away from the action on the field we get stuck into the best of your emails and discuss the elaborate fake IPL scam in India designed to con Russian gamblers.
