Spit, sweat and Steve Waugh’s shrugs
🕑 Added 2020-05-21 02:20:06 +0000 UTCSeason 8, Ep 9. A quick FYI for supporters who donate per episode – this will be the last for May, given it's our fourth. There will be a fifth episode published in May but we don't charge for five in a month. Let's think of them as bonus eps. Much love to you all.
This week: we shouldn’t, but we couldn’t help ourselves. Somehow we all keep getting sucked in by Shane Warne being an old man yelling at a cloud shaped like Steve Waugh. There are numbers though, and reality checks. On things that matter, we bring back our old friend Bharat Sundaresan to give us the detail on what the world’s problems will mean for India, the IPL and the BCCI.
