Bits and Pieces : The friendliest cricket podcast

Iman Pande hosts (and refuses to edit) his first ever episode of Bits and Pieces. As expected, it is an incoherent trainwreck featuring discussions on Gambhir's masterplan to play 12 instead of 11, headaches in the knee for Rohit Sharma, undue attention to Middle Eastern dew factors, uncalled-for patronage for the poorly made cashgrab Ind v Pak Netflix documentary, an alternative name for the Gaddafi Stadium, and magic carpets that will help New Zealand win the Champions Trophy, just as they helped Sri Lanka win the 1999 World Cup (no shit). Also featuring a well-informed and detailed review of Australia's Galle-maul of Sri Lanka that is being keenly followed by Aussies... By the way, who is Australia's captain?Send us your thoughts on X:1. Bits and Pieces: https://x.com/bnp_cricket2. Iman: https://x.com/imanpandey3. Hank: https://x.com/mohank4.

Bits and Pieces gets all technical about legspinners and Kohli in the latest episode of BnP.

Bits and Pieces assembles to survey the train-wreck that is the Indian cricket team discipline policy document leak, including the strange luggage stipulations, spousal visitations, team bus situations and domestic cricket directives. Nitin, Murali, PDP and Tareque catch up at 1 30 AM outside a kebab joint and stay clear of yellow journalists, where they also review India's 2-0 lead in the England T20s, Motie-ji's amritkaal for West Bharat, and effectively jinx Aqib Javed's masterplan for the next WTC.

In an unexpected turn of events - much like an Ash na carrom ball - the Bits and Pieces gang is caught unawares by the surprise retirement of R Ashwin. Join Srinath, PGK, PDP, Kaus, Max, Bisi, Chops, and Murali as they try to find the right balance between a tribute to Ash and good ol' fashioned B&P NIBbing.

It's one-all in the BGT after Australia smash India in less than half the duration under lights at the Adelaide Oval. Bits and Pieces completes 150 episodes (How cool is that!), and for a change, we wander into technical discussion, and change our muse from Ashwin to Kohli. Abhishek Chopra declares that Kohli has always been a limited batter. That's right! Kohli Army, please make us go viral, and Rohit Army, you know you want a rare something to celebrate this horror week, so please inundate our comments with some love.  Bits and Pieces is on Twitter, find us at https://x.com/bnp_cricket

India began their series against New Zealand with a 3-0 scoreline predicted. As expected, the scoreline read 1-0 after the first Test, at which point experts predicted a 2-1 result. That prediction didn't change after the result of the second Test. However, at the end of three Tests, we got exactly what we originally predicted - a 3-0 result. If the above paragraph made no sense, wait till you listen to this podcast where Nitin, Chops, Iman and VaMu lose their marbles completely. Let bygones be bygones, we look ahead to the IPL auctions, and to the BGT (Bavuma-Ganguly Trophy). Follow us on Twitter. 1. Bits and Pieces: https://x.com/bnp_cricket 2.

India's 12 year undefeated home reign comes to a shuddering, shattering, sobering, Santner-ing end against post-Apocalyptic Williamson-less New Zealand, who expose every chink in India's set-up. Meanwhile. Pakistan do what only Pakistan can, to come back from nowhere, with a meme XI to beat England. All in all, just another regular week in cricket, where the most unusual happening may be that Bits and Pieces, for a change, has not ripped into R Ashwin. Tune in as we process shock and grief.

India play GauBall in Kanpur to defeat the rain, crap ground conditions, distraction in the form of the strangest ever set of IPL retention rules and hapless Bangladesh. Sri Lanka face no qualms against an inept New Zealand, but manage to overcome a vicious in-person Bits and Pieces jinx to wrap up the Galle series 2-0. Max, Chops, PDP and Nitin join the pod to relive it all, while taking our usual potshots at Ashwin...

In a week where he generated runs, wickets and sound-bytes like only he can, Bits and Pieces turns its focus fully on its favourite muse. It's an Ashwin bonanza on the pod, following his allround awesomeness against Bangladesh in Chennai.

Max, Tony and Nitin bring to you Episode 138 of Bits and Pieces, covering uncoverable cricket from Pakistan (which was not televised), at uncoverable grounds in Canada (that had soaked, zigzag outfields), and other things that did not happen - such as Sanju Samson's transfer to Chennai Super Kings.
