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.

Strap in for the ride!

India began their series against New Zealand with a 3-0 scoreline predicted. As expected, the scoreline read 1-0 after the first Test, at which point experts predicted a 2-1 result. That prediction didn't change after the result of the second Test. However, at the end of three Tests, we got exactly what we originally predicted - a 3-0 result.

If the above paragraph made no sense, wait till you listen to this podcast where Nitin, Chops, Iman and VaMu lose their marbles completely.

Let bygones be bygones, we look ahead to the IPL auctions, and to the BGT (Bavuma-Ganguly Trophy).

India's 12 year undefeated home reign comes to a shuddering, shattering, sobering, Santner-ing end against post-Apocalyptic Williamson-less New Zealand, who expose every chink in India's set-up. Meanwhile. Pakistan do what only Pakistan can, to come back from nowhere, with a meme XI to beat England. All in all, just another regular week in cricket, where the most unusual happening may be that Bits and Pieces, for a change, has not ripped into R Ashwin. Tune in as we process shock and grief.
