Description

In this episode, we review Mike Marquesee's cricket classic, War Minus The Shooting, recently republished by @81allout. We discuss Mike's phenomenal and at times prophetic reading of subcontinental cricket and its society. Also, how the author identifies strands of majoritarian nationalism and its presence in everything around the 1996 Cricket World Cup. All this while enjoying the sport itself. 
We'd like to thank the @81allout podcast for introducing us to the book.

Titles in the series (90)

This is the official pod for all cricket tragics. From the trauma of the 90s to the heights of the Noughties, if you are a cricket fan, this is the pod for you. Also, if you love the niche and the obscure discussions around cricket (color of TV graphics in the 90s, broadcast theme music), this is also the pod for you. This is as much the pod for a Noel David fan as it is for an ABD fan!
