Ep 45: Reserve-Iyer Dogs
Listen now
Description
This episode was recorded minutes after England won the final of the T20 World Cup, which now means that an Indian-origin Prime Minister now holds both the ODI and T20 gongs. We subscribe to the 'Anybody But England' school of thought, but in Episode 45 our main question is 'Can anybody beat England?' Tony, Murali, Sameer and Nitin once again relive the agony of India's horrendous defeat in the semi-final, and Pakistan's much more spirited effort in the MCG final, where Jos Buttler and co. reigned supreme. Along the way, in addition to our love for hating England, we talk about India's love for middle-aged anchors, Mt. Manganui's love for being mispronounced, MS Dhoni's love for aviation, Sanju Samson's love for parottas, Australia's love for Prime Ministers and Ilayaraja's love for wordplay. (Note - Our joy at England's win translated to a higher than normal frequency of F-Bombs in this episode. And hence the Tarantino-esque title to the show) Find us on Twitter at:  1.

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...
