In Episode 83, our enthusiasm is undimmed by India's supremely sub-par showing in the Caribbean. As the BCCI continues to muck up the 2023 ODI World Cup, we remember previous better conducted cricket events, such as the Cognizant office tournament. We start talking about Mukesh Kumar, and end up making as many detours as possible, and finish by talking about Kuldeep Yadav, whose run of rotten luck continues thanks to the terrible puns we subject him to. In between times, a full week after the Rashomon Ashes ended 2-2, we try to decipher who actually won it, because everyone, their uncle and the ICC has their own take on the matter. Hardik Pandya may or may not feature in a future episode of Bits and Pieces. (If he does, he will be unique.) This podcast is brought to you by Dileep Jajodia's Duke Balls (2018 version available in matte finish and gloss finish). Remember the name - Dileep Jajodia... Because, it just rolls off our Josh Tongue.
