Season 13, Ep 27: And with that, it was done. Ahmedabad receded into the distance. Mumbai vanished into the night. Those weeks were left behind. So we turn out attention to Bangladesh, where the Tigers have just whitewashed world champions England in a T20 series, and friend of the show Mohammad Isam has been watching as always. Also this week, Temba Bavuma breaks through against West Indies, New Zealand finish another classic against Sri Lanka, the National Indigenous Cricket Championships are over with a new winner for the first time, the Shield gets spicy, and Shaun Marsh says goodbye.

Here's the Bangladesh website for Isam's new book, On the Tigers' Trail. As yet we can't find it elsewhere.

The last of our Daily shows from India went up over the last week from the giant stadium in Ahmedabad, attending which was one of the stranger experiences we've had in the game. If you missed our discussion of the Double Prime Minister Joyfest on day one that riled up some angry internet people, check back for that. Featuring the Modi Mobile that we later tracked down, as pictured up top.
The audio eps are in your feed, the video versions are here.
We also posted (up top) our video of Bharat's book launch in Mumbai, miked up with proper audio. Skip to the end to see his mum Usha shyly take the stage.
That's it for this week. Rest up, as will we, getting back to some less frenetic weeks on the pod feed. If you're waiting on a reply to a message, bear with us, coming soon. See you on Discord!
