Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann dominated in tandem in Sri Lanka in February and they might be expected to do it all again in Australia's three-Test series against West Indies starting on Wednesday night.

The spin duo join Jack Paynter in Barbados ahead of the first Test to talk about what they've learned from one another, what they know about the conditions and the opposition and the perks of travelling to the Caribbean.

The chat begins at 2:45.

Marnus Labuschagne has been dropped and Steve Smith is unavailable with a busted finger, allowing Sam Konstas and Josh Inglis to regain their spot in the side.

South Africa have ended their ICC finals curse by defeating Australia by five wickets to win the 2025 World Test Championship final!

Aiden Markram was a deserved player of the match for his fourth-innings century, but there were solid contributions from Temba Bavuma, Kagiso Rabada and to a lesser extent David Bedingham and Lungi Ngidi.

Jack Paynter was at Lord’s and chats to Josh Schonafinger about where it all went wrong for the Aussies and what it means for the Proteas.
