PCCI PodcastAuthor: PCCI Podcast
This is the official pod for all cricket tragics. From the trauma of the 90s to the heights of the Noughties, if you are a cricket fan, this is the pod for you. Also, if you love the niche and the obscure discussions around cricket (color of TV graphics in the 90s, broadcast theme music), this is also the pod for you. This is as much the pod for a Noel David fan as it is for an ABD fan! Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

More importantly, you can always ask your friends to listen; there's nothing like word-of-mouth publicity! On to the show notes - Joining us at different points in todayâs episode are Nishant, Sarthak, Saurabh, Aditya, Richa and MV.We begin with the second Test between South Africa and Australia, looking at the performances of Temba Bavuma, Scott Boland, Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada, and what stood out from the contest. And of course, Rajdeep Sardesai weighs in with his prediction for the third Test.From there, itâs time for Rondo. Nishant, Sarthak and Saurabh take on the task of naming all 22 players who featured in the 1999 World Cup semi-final between Australia and South Africa. A game that, 27 years later, still lives rent-free in cricket fans' heads. The memories these three have is quite something, and youâll love this round of Rondo!We then head to Rawalpindi for England and Sri Lanka, where we discuss the absolute wonders of Harry Brook, and a rather fundamental question: how does a cricket Tri-series not have a streaming partner in the largest Cricket market? At a time when cricket is trying to grow its audience, making the product difficult to watch seems like a fairly unusual strategy.And just when you think weâve seen enough runs, Sri Lanka go and chase down 430, twenty years after Australiaâs famous 434 against South Africa. Finally, we turn our attention to Indian cricket off the field. We get into the PR strategies of Indian cricketers, how carefully their public images are managed, and the rather uncomfortable captaincy transition in Indian womenâs cricket. The move from Harmanpreet Kaur to Smriti Mandhana raises some serious questions about communication, transparency and whether there was any discernible process at all.So, weâve got Test cricket, many trips down memory lane, extraordinary batting, questions about the business of broadcasting, and a look at how Indian cricket manages its stars and its leadership.đ You can follow us on â Twitterâ , â Instagramâ and â YouTubeâ âď¸ We write not so regularly on Substack.
