Description

Like the Nagpur Test which featured three debutants in Todd Murphy, SKY and KS Bharat, Episode 58 of your favourite cricket podcast features three smashing debutants - Mayur Narasimhan, Sandeep Lanjewar and Vaishnavi Bhaskaran. The gang assembles to discuss Australia's strangely underwhelming performance in the first Test, the hand-wringing around the pitch, selection headaches and absolute Indian dominance led by Rohit Sharma and the spinning trinity. We wonder if we accidentally passed on the BnP jinx to Australia via our good friend Bharat Sundaresan, whose pitch pic triggered a collective meltdown amidst Aussie media and the team thinktank. We also chat about the Women's World Cup, the WPL Draft, the various pointless T20 leagues around the world featuring Tom Moody as coach, and re-register our annoyance at Pakistan's continued cold-shouldering by the BCCI.
