The Cricket World Cup is over, and despite Ireland’s absence, we had the most influential man in the tournament. Eoin Morgan’s achievement in captaining England to victory, in extraordinary circumstances on Sunday evening at Lords, can’t be under-stated.

 

One of our favourite writers Jonathan Liew tells us just how influential Morgan has been in turning the England ship around, why Morgan used to be unpopular with England fans, why free to air matters, and why this most English of sports still has plenty of work to do to recover its place in English life.

 

Kilkenny are now Ireland’s most popular hurling team, according to Eoin and Murph, and we speak to Brian Hogan about how his old boss Brian Cody is doing some of his best work at the moment, and how they’ll put it up to All-Ireland champions Limerick in their All-Ireland semi-final.

 

And – Eoin thinks he could take a point off Serena Williams….. Ken strongly disagrees.
