India's T20 woes -- Are we too conservative?

In this episode of the PCCI pod, we discuss something that isn't very mainstream. Talking about the current Indian setup's conservative approach to the T20 format (and LOI cricket in general), and how this averseness to risk-taking works against us in ICC events. Do Kohli and Sharma fit into the top 3? Does Shami deserve a look in? Have we ever found a replacement to Raina and Yuvraj? All this and more on this episode of the pod.

Rants, Cricket Tweaks and Bad Commentary - Automated Umpires, Bilateral ODIs (lack of relevance) and a tweaked T20 game

In this episode of the pod, the PCCI board members discuss some of their biggest bugbears to do with cricket. If you are a fan of Sunny G's commentary (or even better, Rohan G's commentary), this pod is for you. In the second of two parts, we discuss potential changes to the way ODI cricket is played and our reasons for why ODIs must go back to the older format of multi-lateral ODI events. Also, our take on how No-balls calls must fully be automated, and the relevance of human empires in the modern game. In the final recommendation, we discuss whether T20s merit fewer resources to the batting side (9 a side?) for the balance of the game.  All this and more on this episode of the PCCI pod.
