Description
This week, the Bits and Pieces gang is in conversation with S Giridhar and VJ Raghunath, two amazing cricket romantics who talk about their wonderful book called "Mid Wicket Tales: A Century and More of Cricket" which has been recently released. The indomitable duo holds court on a whole host of topics, ranging from Madras and Bombay cricket in the 60s and 70s to the ODI World Cup final 2023. They astound us with their memory, delight us with anecdotes aplenty and have us smiling ear to ear at how they've so lovingly retained their affection for the sport.
