PCCI Podcast 🏏

We discuss some of our earliest memories of watching the sport and the feelings that cricket in different countries and different scenarios evoked.

We discuss various talking points around the IPL.

In this week's pod, we discuss stories from the last few weeks of world cricket -- Pak-Aus,  ICC World Cup (W) 22, Bangladesh-SA, Mohsin and Rizwan Haider, The Unquiet Ones and the IPL

This week we discuss the age-old "Data v Narratives" debate with cricket analytics superstar, Himanish Ganjoo (@hganjoo153 on twitter). Also, we move on to discuss the recent IPL auctions and the squads. We end the pod with some rant about Indian cricket broadcasts.

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.

In this episode, we examine claims of Kohli's India being comparable to 2000s Australia. Are they really? Is ICC silverware really overrated? What do the overseas W/L ratios for the two sides look like?

In this episode, we discuss Kohli resigning from test cricket, the Ind-SA series, the legacy of this side, and the data versus emotion debate with cricket analysis.

We talk of our favorite Ind-SA innings, bowling spells, Jammy Sir's influence and the current test series.

In this episode we discuss the captaincy announcement and the unnecessary fiasco around it.

In this episode, we discuss how Pakistan's T20 WC has taken so many by surprise, and the fallout of the India-Pak result.  This episode was recorded a day before the Ind-NZ game.
