Cummins and Head reject 10 million IPL bucks to ditch Australia
Season 19, Episode 2: The Ashes runway continues, the Women's World Cup is mid-flight, and the Indian men's team are about to land in Australia for a white-ball series. It must be October. Also this week, an IPL franchise tries to buy two of Australia's biggest names year-round, Marnus makes another domestic ton, and if the CAXI is coming back, surely Will Bosisto must be doing the same? In red-ball cricket, West Indies resist India, South Africa tussle with Pakistan, and the Kookaburra ball is banished from England.

TFW Daily - Three balls remaining - Women’s World Cup Day 14, Bangladesh South Africa
Women’s World Cup Day 14, Bangladesh v South Africa: After being dismantled by New Zealand, Bangladesh's batting found a new level of resolve, topped off by Shorna Akhter with the most dynamic hitting in this team's history. That put them in a strong position against South Africa, who once again had to manage a chase right down to its nervous end. Geoff Lemon is joined by Firdose Moonda (and Ked).

TFW Daily - World record run chase - Women's World Cup Day 13, Australia India
Women’s World Cup Day 13, Australia India: That was quite something. India set Australia the biggest ever run chase in women's ODIs... and then you'll never believe (you will believe) what happened next. Two thrilling opening stands, a bunch of weird umpiring, injuries, retirements, and bowling problems, it's all going on between the two Cup favourites.
