Welcome to the Armchair cricket podcast!
This is a podcast focusing on Test cricket, by armchair critics of the game.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sri Lankan public who have suffered tragic attacks over the Easter weekend. Our prayers are also with Asif Ali (Pakistan cricket player) who is taking his daughter for treatments to the US.
In today's episode, we have a guest Tasneem Summer-Khan (@summeryael) from Guerilla Cricket, who took part in the banter in the second part of the episode and has helped us analyse Australia's team composition and chances at the World Cup 2019, as well as other world cup related news.
Trivia Q: Which captain has the best win/loss percentage ratio in Cricket WCs (cut off 10 matches minimum)?
