Reaction to the Barbados Test, an impressive debut for Mahmood and the best 50 over World Cup ever?

Wisden Cricket Weekly

This week's show comes directly from Barbados. Mark Butcher talks to Yas Rana to give his immediate thoughts on the game from the ground before a panel of Yas, Ben Gardner and freelance journalist Cameron Ponsonby go over the Test, discussing a particular encouraging debut from Saqib Mahmood, Kraigg Brathwaite and Jack Leach's pair of record-breaking displays of endurance, the future of Chris Woakes, a return to form for Ben Stokes and much more.

Ben provides an update on the women's World Cup and wonders whether it's the most exciting 50 over World Cup – men's or women's – there has ever been. If you want to hear our reaction to the Karachi Test that saw Babar Azam play one of the all-time great fourth innings knocks, head to our Wisden Cricket YouTube channel where Taha Hashim provides his thoughts on the game from Karachi.
