In this episode of the show, the team are all in the same room to review the first few days of the ICC T20 World Cup hosted by the West Indies and USA.

We discuss our early impressions, throw out a few hot takes and share our favourite performances from the opening week.

Are the pitches no good?
Is it already time to write off Sri Lanka?
How good is Aaron Jones’s bat?!
Is Anrich Nortje back?
What's going on with the Super 8 groups?
Are Afghanistan a danger side?
Could Ireland upset India
And much more!

We are planning to record regularly throughout the tournament, particularly as we approach the Super 8 and knockout stages. All going well, we’ll have at least one more episode available by Sunday night. Until then please take the time to give us a like, follow, share or subscribe on all our channels (@toporderpod on Twitter & Facebook, and @thetoporderpodcast on Instagram & YouTube) and a (5-Star!) review at your favourite podcast provider, or tell a friend to download.
