In this episode of the Top Order Podcast, we start by discussing the England/Australia T20 and ODI series, before an overview of the women's game at the international level (8.40), crowds but not as we know them to watch the White Ferns tour of Australia (14.30), bat handles and bubble chat (17.40) in This Week in Cricket. In the second half of the show, we unpack the key themes from the first few days of the Indian Premier League (23.00), including umpiring controversy, pitches, super overs, pairs, huge sixes, overseas players and our fantasy league failures.

Keep an eye on the feed for some bonus IPL content during the tournament, featuring game wraps and fantasy tips (use at your own risk!). We'll be dropping extra episodes every week, in addition to our regular weekly shows.

IPL 2020 - Wrap Show 02: Royals reign supreme and RCB sneak a super over

In the second instalment of our journey around the New Zealand domestic provinces we're joined by Canterbury Cricket captain and NZ A all-rounder, Cole McConchie. With Cole we look ahead to the Plunket Shield, Ford Trophy and Super Smash seasons. We discuss the return of Peter Fulton as a coach at Canterbury, the arrival of Daryl Mitchell, and a young player to watch. Then we deep-dive to the important questions:

Which bowler bowls off 18-yards in the nets?

Does anyone spend more time in the weights room than Cam Fletcher?

What's the best sledge you've heard at the domestic level?

Our attention then turns to Hagley Oval, Lippy gets in his standard mention of Riccarton Cricket Club and we talk individual and team goals and ambitions for the upcoming season. Keep an eye on our podcast feed in the coming weeks - we've got a packed month with interviews from all around the New Zealand domestic circuit, as well as our IPL wraps and This Week in Cricket shows.

Cole McConchie - Canterbury NZ Domestic Preview

New Zealand's domestic and international schedules have been announced, and the Top Order is deep-diving into a player-driven preview of our home summer.

First cab off the rank is Northern Districts batsman Dean Brownlie. We cover preseason, the challenges of being spread out over multiple districts, players to watch, expectations for the Plunket Shield, Ford Trophy & Super Smash season ahead and find out which bowler bowls off 18 yards in the nets (there's always one - or two in this case).

Then we take a quick dive into Dean's Black Caps career, including green wickets in Hobart and what it was like representing NZ after growing up in Australia.
