Bits and Pieces somehow continues into its 134th week on the trot, and Sanju Samson must be quite miserable about this. The pod was recorded just as Samson made a rare appearance in the India XI, and in our extreme excitement for the man, may have ended up jinxing him into a first-ball duck a few hours later. From Joylord Gumbie, Joyless Gambhir, Sumaar Joseph, and Chamari Athapattu, we have all the major cricketing heroes of the week covered. We marvel at SKY's versatility, and Max talks about

In Mumbai, India gave its cricketing heroes a massive and spontaneous reception to mark their memorable World Cup triumph. Vipul from the Bits and Pieces gang - a North Stand Gang regular, and a major patron of live sport - was one of the 1000s of people who thronged the streets of Mumbai and found their way to the Wankhede, braving rain, crowds, unsympathetic police, dehydration, lost footwear and other pitfalls to celebrate with the team.

After 4024 days, India end their ICC tournament drought in incredibly dramatic fashion in Barbados. An ending that you could not have scripted, for Rohit, Kohli and Dravid. A redemption arc for Hardik that no one saw coming. A reaffirmation of Bumrah's legend status. A SKY moment whose magnitude will be felt for years. We are still pinching ourselves to confirm that we didn't dream this whole thing up. What a World Cup! What a finish!Fittingly, it is a Royal Rumble of a Bits and Pieces

But as it transpired, we ended up recording in multiple installments on Monday, after India defeated Australia, and again on Tuesday following Afghanistan's magical sprint past Australia on the points table, dumping them and Bangladesh out of what is, arguably, the greatest World Cup ever!Join us as we review the action as coherently as possible.

What is Shubhman Gill's side business? Is South Africa practicing the anti-choke, and are New Zealand at the end of an era? How on earth did ICC manage to make it rain endlessly in America?

Despite the ICC's best efforts with messed up pitches at strange venues, ticketing faux-pas, scheduling gaffes and comical broadcast deals, the first week of the T20 World Cup has been a low-scoring blockbuster featuring upsets, reversals and box-office Pakistan. As England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Pakistan lick their early - potentially tournament-ending - wounds, Hank, Chops, Tony and Nitin join the pod to review a memorable week.Find us on Twitter: Bits and Pieces:

As IPL 2024 winds down to anti-climactic conclusion, Tony, Chops, Bisi and Nitin come together to ponder the most important question of all - who has won the Fairplay Award (PS: We had to check). The gang chats about peculiarities such as the impact of luck in T20, the significance of an orange-clad leader who many thought was unbeatable in India falling short in a big contest in 2024, and just marvel the rare sight of Pat Cummins losing a final.

When was the last time the media, the selectors, the commentators, or even the coach could speak their mind freely or take a hard call in relation to an Indian superstar? India's anchor-heavy T20 World Cup squad selection was followed closely by the Virat Kohli - Sunil Gavaskar spat, bringing back attention to the uneasy power that the holy cows of Indian cricket hold. Is this unique to India? To cricket? Are the fans to be blamed? Is there a way out? Sharda Ugra joins the gang this week to

The answer is no, of course, but why let that come in the way of a buzzword filled headline for your podcast episode!But no, seriously, in Episode 119, we come together and wonder if Bumrah is tough to play because of his PM-like tendencies. We also wonder whether India's T20 World Cup selections will be impacted by the national general election vote-bank politics.
