Ep 40: Jaa Shimron Jaa, and other flights of fancy

Tony, Chops, Krtgrphr and Nitin come together to analyse the latest from the 248 Twenty20 International series that are currently underway, and the lone ODI series that no one (except Shikhar and Sanju) wanted. Why did Shimron Heymyer miss so many flights? What is the latest embellishment on Gautam Gambhir's CV? Did Kyle Mayers play the shot of the year in the first T20 v Aus? Just how memorable was Ajay Jadeja's single over in some 1999 Sharjah ODI? Should Jasprit Bumrah be treated like a regular human being? Find out all the answers on Episode 40 of the friendliest cricket podcast.
