Brendon McCullum is gone (from the Test side). Was he lucky to survive as long as he did? How will we look back on his time in charge? AND what next for the England Test side? Meanwhile England's T20 team are thriving as they storm to a 4-0 series win over World Champions India, sky rocketing them to the top of the T20 rankings. Is Harry Brook captain material? Vaibhav Sooryavanshi struggles to adapt to non Indian pitches. England's women lose again at Lords with some legends retiring. We have a dip into the fascinating world of club cricket and Georgie Heath is back with another 'Heath Sledgers'. Enjoy!
