Brad Haddin joins Adam Peacock live from India ahead of the Punjab Kings' qualifier final against RCB tonight. Hadds talks us through the Australian movement ahead of the WTC final, Josh Inglis's comparison to Jos Buttler, Mitch Marsh's superb form, and the talented young openers currently with Punjab.

Plus, Hadds shares why he thinks Rishabh Pant will be the best keeper-batsman India has ever seen, Tim David's efficient work rate in the IPL, Harry Brook's first challenge as England's white-ball leader, and some of his favourite stories from cricket camp and his best memory of the great Steve Harmison!

Adam Peacock is joined by former English fast bowler Steve Harmison for the second edition of English Willow Talk. Harmison discusses all things Ashes, from his first series in 2002/03—when he toured Australia and faced some of the game's greats—to his interactions with legends such as David Boon, Rod Marsh, and Steve Waugh. He reflects on the greatest player he ever played against, Ricky Ponting, and shares some of the best sledges he received from Australian crowds.

Harmison delves into the greatest Test series of all time—the 2005 Ashes—when England secured a 2–1 victory. He discusses the preparation that went into the series, his deliveries that struck Ponting and Hayden, and taking the final wicket of Michael Kasprowicz in the second Test at Edgbaston. Harmison also shares what it was like to play alongside and against legends such as Andrew Flintoff, Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting, Kevin Pietersen, and many more. Of course, we also asked him about his moment to forget in 2006, when he bowled a wide to second slip in the first Test of the Ashes.

Get in contact and let us know who you would like to see on the next English Willow Talk.

Adam Peacock, Alyssa Healy, and Brad Haddin are back to look ahead to the upcoming WTC Final in England. Haddin names his XI and reveals who he thinks should be opening the batting. Is there a world where Nathan Lyon misses out due to four seamers? Marnus has had two misses in County cricket, and Cam Green is absolutely flying.

We look at the IPL, as Hadds' Kings are on a roll heading into the playoffs, while Delhi can't buy a wicket without Mitchell Starc. Plus, we head to Sundries to check out Steve Smith's New York holiday, and Heals gives us an insight into the Australian women's team camp in Darwin next week.

Alyssa Healy & Adam Peacock are joined by Alex Carey ahead of Australia's World Test Championship final match against South Africa. We talk to Carey about his prep for the fixture, who he thinks should open the batting for Australia, what playing with Sam Konstas is like and how he feels the reception at Lord's will be after the Bairstow incident. Carey talks about the remarkable effort of the South Australian cricket side in their successful 2024/25 season, whether they can turn this into a dynasty and who the teams best celebrators were. Plus, Carey talks about his battles against batsmen such as Kohli & Marnus, facing bowlers like Bumrah, playing under Pat Cummins and gives some great advice for an aspiring 12-year-old keeper.
