Ep 113: Does Mufa Bro have a BCCI contract?

Bits and Pieces : The friendliest cricket podcast ·

2024/03/04

This week, Bits and Pieces goes deep into contract law and HR practices, and quite fittingly, we do this without the lawyer or the HR professional in our gang joining the pod. Our group randomly sympathises with Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, randomly ridicules the Dharamsala 100th Test darlings Ashwin and Bairstow. And somehow foretells Shardul Bedex Thakur's incredible Ranji semifinal performance. Murali's Bedex rap and PDP's David Attenborough impression of the Bairstow Migration are

And we have two equally reliable takes on this pod - one delivered by Swami Nithyananda (voice acted by Mimicry Marauder Prashant DP), and one from our own Night-hawk Iman Pande, who joins the panel from under a blanket in a hotel bedroom in Bellandur to decode Bazball through Product Management analogies.

Is Shreyas Iyer injured? Is he dropped? Is he rested? Is he acting? Is Kaviya Maran the greatest T20 franchise owner in history? Who is Ollie Robinson? Why does he have a podcast that's rated so poorly that it resembles a puff-of-dustbowl pitch? Why is Rehan Ahmed allowed near a microphone? Does Quentin Tarantino own a T20 side called the Deadly Vipers? Is Chattisgarh a Ranji team? Are Vijaykanth Viyaskanth and Vyshak Vijay Kumar the same person?

Bisi, Sandy, Srinath, Murali and Chops get together on the day of Bazball's first win on Indian shores and a Windies' win for the ages at the Gabba to cry, feel angry, smile, guffaw, break heads and crack jokes while constantly pointing and laughing at Ashwin's fielding, and AB de Villiers' ridiculous new ideas to 'improve' the game.

At one point Tony says "We've been talking for 20m and only Rachna has made any sense" (edited out). At another point Tony whines on like a pork "chop" about Sanju Samson not making the "cut" (edited out). And for some part of the pod Tony self edits himself out of the pod on account of a power-cut. In between all of this, Chops, Bisi, Rachna, VaMu, SandyG and Tony talk about "cricket without borders", fielding in the IPL, over-reliance on data, selection

2023/12/31

As 2023 winds down, catch the gang in a mood that is equal parts dark and humorous. There's a bit of looking back with dollops of recency bias thrown in and there's a bit of looking forward with pessimism and optimism jostling with each other for screentime in a set of moving pictures called imagined reality. Time is a circle, they say and the circle of Centurion has made us none the wiser. Oh, and don't miss the many in-jokes that all of you are in on, dear listeners and the needles

Just when we thought we'd covered every possible angle there was to the Hardik Pandya transfer story, Mumbai Indians named him as captain, setting tongues wagging across the board, including in our esteemed panel which asks the exclusive question that no one else thought about: Have Mumbai appointed the right Pandya brother? Hardik-gate reminds us of Pakistan in the 90s; Pakistan's Test team getting pulped in Australia reminds us of India in the 90s; And India's ODI selection reminds us
