“You come macha, we will figure it out” seems to be the way the ICC is going about organizing the Champions Trophy. Srinath, PDP, Max and Murali preview the tournament that refuses to go away, and how it has returned as two separate editions, one in Pakistan and another in Dubai. Virat Kohli and RCB chants make it to Karachi, RCB the content company continues to amaze while the women keep winning on the field. Also, how will Sri Lanka fare in the tournament? Is it South Africa’s double trophy year?

In classic BnP style, they also completely forget to mention Afghanistan.

Iman Pande hosts (and refuses to edit) his first ever episode of Bits and Pieces. As expected, it is an incoherent trainwreck featuring discussions on Gambhir's masterplan to play 12 instead of 11, headaches in the knee for Rohit Sharma, undue attention to Middle Eastern dew factors, uncalled-for patronage for the poorly made cashgrab Ind v Pak Netflix documentary, an alternative name for the Gaddafi Stadium, and magic carpets that will help New Zealand win the Champions Trophy, just as they helped Sri Lanka win the 1999 World Cup (no shit). Also featuring a well-informed and detailed review of Australia's Galle-maul of Sri Lanka that is being keenly followed by Aussies... By the way, who is Australia's captain?

Bits and Pieces gets all technical about legspinners and Kohli in the latest episode of BnP. Max, Rahul, VaMu and PGK also chat about India's gun T20 side, India's controversial concussion substitute, and Ashwin's surprise appearance and utterance at the AWS AI summit. 

Bits and Pieces assembles to survey the train-wreck that is the Indian cricket team discipline policy document leak, including the strange luggage stipulations, spousal visitations, team bus situations and domestic cricket directives. Nitin, Murali, PDP and Tareque catch up at 1 30 AM outside a kebab joint and stay clear of yellow journalists, where they also review India's 2-0 lead in the England T20s, Motie-ji's amritkaal for West Bharat, and effectively jinx Aqib Javed's masterplan for the next WTC.

As the dust settles and the tears subside, Bits and Pieces looks back wistfully at India's glorious decade in Test cricket that culminated with the BGT loss in Australia.

In an unexpected turn of events - much like an Ash na carrom ball - the Bits and Pieces gang is caught unawares by the surprise retirement of R Ashwin. Join Srinath, PGK, PDP, Kaus, Max, Bisi, Chops, and Murali as they try to find the right balance between a tribute to Ash and good ol' fashioned B&P NIBbing.

It's one-all in the BGT after Australia smash India in less than half the duration under lights at the Adelaide Oval. Bits and Pieces completes 150 episodes (How cool is that!), and for a change, we wander into technical discussion, and change our muse from Ashwin to Kohli. Abhishek Chopra declares that Kohli has always been a limited batter. That's right! Kohli Army, please make us go viral, and Rohit Army, you know you want a rare something to celebrate this horror week, so please inundate our comments with some love. 

It's the auction episode. Which means, we say Zinta hoon yaar kaafi hai and let AI do the edit. Join Max, Varun, and Sandy as they discuss the bids and teams thread bare.
