The Wrong 'Un

🇮🇳3️⃣- 1️⃣ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 After one month and 14 TWU episodes, one magnificent Joe Root double century, uncountable England ducks and a tanker full of wickets for Axar Patel and Ashwin, Virat Kohli's men walk away with a 3-1 victory. The first Test was but an anomaly in the grand scheme of Indian dominance on some spin heavy tracks.

Show pal and writer at The Cricketer magazine, Nick Friend, joins Sach, Ollie and Bertie to poke some fingers into what went right and what went wrong for the tourists. Spoiler: A lot went wrong. Batting problems, summer expectations, it's all in there. We briefly touch on India but as Sach has excavated an extortionate amount of analysis on India's big boys the past few weeks then check out some of our earlier series episode if that's more what you're looking for. 

Anyway, enough of this red ball rubbish, we power onto the T20s next and a whole lot more fun.

👖⬇️ Ollie steers the ship today and is joined by Sach, Max and a sprinkling of Bertie to sing sweet Rishabh Pant praises following his third Test ton and whisper sweet nothings about Washington Sundar who rescued an Indian collapse. The boys lament a tireless effort from the England bowling attack, but ask questions about the spin department, and Sach spills the Chai on whether we will see another like Pujara for India. 

Action packed as always, thanks for listening once again!

Love, TWU Towers x

😌 Sach has finally mellowed after unleashing his wrath on the salty England fans of Twitter. But he is now bored by conventional Test cricket - 'Bring back the Tina Turners' he cries. Bertie is here to join him and unpick the day's action, with plenty to cover: unorthodox selections, predictably disappointing batting, and plenty of ghosts. 

Virat is still spiky, Axar Patel and Siraj both look good again and coming towards the end of the series we're beginning to see some consistencies with England's below par batting. India look to be heading for a series victory, but as they say, it's not over until the England batsman gets done by the straight one... for the 30th and final time.

🌪️Several days have passed and the storm has calmed after hurricane 3rd Test romped its way through Ahmedabad leaving ducks, dust and a 10 wicket defeat for England in its wake. Only Axar Patel, Rohit and a hyped up Kohli remain untouched. India are on the path to a 3-1 dub.

We welcome CricViz Analyst and Professional xW-er Ben Jones into our warm TWU embrace to conduct the post-mortem on what the hell was going on. Amateur analysts Ollie & Sach, ship steerer Bertie and a very hungover Max Parry complete the lineup. 

Meanwhile Sach is riled by his oldest of foes - online England fans 😡. Will he let it slide. Not a chance. Buckle in for what he tells me is "A thorough lesson in hypocrisy and learning to take defeat on the chin". Remember those words England fans, he's coming for you.

We also greet our worst correspondence topic ever and discuss Adam Lallana.

🏟️ A downbeat mood in TWU HQ today as a 100% English contingent gets sad about England's chances disappearing before a session is out - again. 3rd Test. Day 1 is strongly India's. England skittled for 112 as Kohli and el boyos press fast forward on the "Get England out cheaply" remote. Good showing for Crawley though, if that's any small comfort. Elsewhere Bertie and Ollie speculate whether someone on the Gujarat cricket board is eyeing a promotion after the vast ground in Ahmedabad is named after a certain current Prime Minister of India.

💰Several days have passed since India's shellacking of England and we're already back into IPL season. We examine the big money movers, bask in what a classic Test series this is shaping up to be, discuss England's terrible PR skills with Moeen and the tweet first think later attitude of Michael Vaughan. With you today are Max, Sach and Bertie, and we get very excited by what you think different cricketers smell like.

Remember we'll be back daily for the 3rd Test in Ahmedabad with the pink ball under the lights. It's all set to be tasty baby.

🏖️3️⃣  Having heard that nobody can bat on the pitch for 2 days up steps R. Ashwin to play England off the park. Throw in some rogue sixes from the No. 11 and England are left with more than a mountain to climb in the 4th innings. The game is India's so expect a buoyant Sach who's been having heaps of fun on his own with the 4am get ups, whilst the English podcast contingent choose a normal sleeping pattern over watching England get steamrolled. 

But it's not all bad news for England. Alongside Ashwin chat there's more than a side portion of gazing longingly at the handsome face and gorgeous takes of Ben Foakes. And, as Bertie wants to stress, it's been a glorious match to watch over your Weetabix in the morning.

🔥2️⃣ The following episode contains a lot of anger about 'English ignorance' which we struggled to contain both in the recording and edit. You have been warned.

Day 2 and India are winning this. They coped better with the spin and executed said spin more effectively. England see a classic English collapse and *click* we're back in the land of normal. Gone are the recent days of England dominating in India, we welcome once again our Indian overlords. 

So there's lots to get into after 15 wickets fell on Day 2 for Bertie, Ollie and Sach, including England's efforts with the bat and once again our old friend 'the pitch'. After considered calm analysis yesterday, Sach is about the blow his top as 36 hours of English moans have brought him to boiling point. Strap yourselves in. Don't tell us we didn't warn you.

🦡1️⃣ A compelling 2nd day in the 2nd Test at Chennai. Chalk and cheese compared to the 1st Test. Same ground, remarkably different pitch as spin takes hold from the first over. India bat, Rohit makes big runs at a fair clip, but England take wickets so it could be honours even. We won't know until England put in their own shift with the bat. 

It's one for the badgers today as Nerds in Chief Sach and Matt are guiding the ship with relative cricketing idiot Bertie. The pitch goes under the knife in our first edition of The Surgery. Tune in every day for brand new episodes!

🇮🇳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿5️⃣ India lose a Test at home, as England romp to victory in the first test. We're here for it all in our final daily show of the Test match. An ageless Jimmy Anderson produces some of the finest goods of his triumphant career whilst Jack Leach spins into the dust to drive England to a winning margin of 227. Declaration shmeclaration. That's all in the past isn't it, as Kohli's boys might have to do some soul searching before the 2nd Test on Saturday.

The whole gang is on today, and it's three-quarters happy, one quarter "This is the worst day of my life" vibes from the respective English and Indian members. And it's not all in depth analysis, there's also fun. And when we say 'fun' we're the only cricket podcast to have extensive Kylie chat. Max also gets trumped by evidence of Ishant Sharma's voice and his own tone is dragged by a perceptive listener.
