In the latest episode host Saqib Ali is joined by familiar panelists of the podcast Vijay Arumugam, Deepak Rao and Kevin Framp to talk about the biggest test rivalry in men's cricket. On one hand is the Ashes with all its cultural and historical significance vs the BGT where the on field contest has featured the two best teams in the last few editions. The panel dissects both set of rivalries through the lens of competition, history, commercial contracts and fandom. It is a typical long format conversation the podcast has to offer!

Brew your flat white and get ready for the conversation.

Nasser Hussain has been a very prominent cricket personality for the last twenty years or more. He was born in Madras and moved to England at a young age with his parents. Since becoming an Essex man he has been in the public eye for almost thirty eight years.He went on to captain England for 45 test matches and remains one of the most feisty characters the game has seen. Sachin Tendulkar has hailed Huissin as the greatest captain he had played against. For a young fan Hussain is the face of the SKy cricket commentary and podcasts. We dedicate this episode to the man who has made a seamless transition from the pitch to the booth - where assured aggression has been gradually replaced by self deprecating humor.

And his autobiography is easily one of the better cricket books - we highly recommend it.
