Fleet Street's finest cricket journos talk England, West Indies and the rest of the week's headlines.
The boys are back for more heated debate...
Paul Allott will welcome another clutch of cricket correspondents around his breakfast table on Sunday morning to dissect the game's burning issues.
Stephen Brenkley of
The Independent;
The Guardian's Vic Marks; and Lawrence Booth,
Daily Mail scribe and editor of the
Wisden Cricketer's Almanack, will peruse the papers and give their thoughts on the big stories from the last seven days.
England are likely to top the agenda after they took an unconquerable 2-0 lead in their series with the West Indies, courtesy of a nine-wicket victory at Trent Bridge on Monday afternoon.
Andrew Strauss and Tim Bresnan were two of the side's star performers, with the former clocking up his 21st Test match century and the latter, who has been on the winning team in each of his 13 Test outings, bowling the Windies into a frenzy.
The panel could look at their efforts, while they may discuss whether Jonny Bairstow is the right man to fill the number six batting spot, following a timid start to his Test match career.
Paul and the gang will also look ahead to the third Test at Edgbaston, revealing whether they expect the hosts to complete a whitewash - and whether they should rest any of their potent seam attack in preparation for the upcoming South Africa series.
Kevin Pietersen's decision to retire from all forms of international limited-overs cricket is sure to garner a mention, too. Has the swashbuckling batsman made the right call?
There should also be plenty of chat about the West Indies, who may not have been able to derail England this summer, but will surely have been boosted by some excellent performances from middle-order batsman Marlon Samuels.
The team will assess the tourists' chances of victory in Birmingham and whether they can cope without highly-rated quick Kemar Roach, who has returned home after suffering a shin injury.
Plus, with a cornucopia of CB40 clashes being shown on
Sky Sports over the Diamond Jubilee weekend, the boys should look at the latest news emanating from county cricket.
