    Stick to Cricket returns as David “Bumble” Lloyd, Michael Vaughan, Phil Tufnell and Sir Alastair Cook react to a huge week at the T20 World Cup, brought to you by Betfair! The panel review India’s dismantling of Pakistan and dig into what the result means in the context of cricket’s biggest rivalry. They also debate whether India and Pakistan should take things back to the longest format, and if a Test series in England could ever become a reality. Attention then turns to India’s growing dominance and the big question: who can actually stop them going all the way? The team also discuss the rise of 14 year old Indian sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and what his emergence says about the depth of talent coming through. England’s campaign is put under the microscope as the panel debate whether they’ve done enough to squeeze through, and whether changes behind the scenes could follow if England crash out. There’s also chat around Harry Brook, pressure, and whether this could be his defining moment on the world stage. Elsewhere, Italy, Sri Lanka and New Zealand get their flowers after impressive performances, while the team reflect on what’s made this tournament so unpredictable. The episode then takes a nostalgic turn as Bumble, Vaughany, Tuffers and Cooky each bring in personal items from their playing careers, sparking stories, laughter and memories from dressing rooms, tours and iconic moments. Funny, opinionated and packed with brilliant cricket chat, this is one of the best episodes of Stick to Cricket so far. 00:00 - Intro 14:37 - T20 World Cup 16:46 - England's Campaign 21:40 - India v Pakistan 28:00 - Double Super Over in T20 World Cup! 46:12 - Nostalgic Items Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Stick to Cricket 🙌🏏 FOLLOW STICK TO CRICKET ON SOCIAL 👇🏏 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sticktocricket/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577370443364 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sticktocricket X - https://x.com/StickToCricket SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL HERE https://www.youtube.com/@TheOverlapCricket?sub_confirmation=1 SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERLAP BREAKDOWN CHANNEL HERE https://www.youtube.com/@TheOverlapBreakdown SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERLAP NEWSLETTER https://substack.com/@theoverlapnewsletter SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERLAP US https://www.youtube.com/@TheOverlapUS SUBSCRIBE TO NOT JUST FOOTBALL www.youtube.com/@TheOverlapNotJustFootball?sub_confirmation=1 SUBSCRIBE TO STICK TO RUGBY HERE https://www.youtube.com/@TheOverlapRugby LISTEN TO OUR PODCASTS Stick to Football - https://tr.ee/JI6l3Dj-4O The Overlap - https://tr.ee/h07F3Fsuh3 It Was What It Was - https://podfollow.com/1745066482 The Overlap US - https://podfollow.com/1769260064 The Breakdown Podcast - https://podfollow.com/1771490639 Not Just Football - https://podfollow.com/1772633121 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
