Ep 107: Five-nil. Puff of (dust).

In Episode 107, Bits and Pieces continues its Pulitzer-worthy investigation into the state of cricket pitch manufacturing, outfield preparation and stands manufacturing as the American venues for the 2024 T20 World Cup get into a race against time, logic and sense to be ready in time for the ICC's big event. Also, an in-depth look into various Indian squads for various formats of cricket, some of which have been announced and some of which haven't (to be clear, we are referring to the squads here, and not formats of the game). In addition to compelling conversations on Bazball's impending India debut and West Indies' troubles in Australia, we also ask the most important question in cricket: Is it time Harsha Bhogle stopped tweeting?
