Ep 75: Many a slip between Aus win and Ashwin

Another ICC final, another Indian defeat. The stoicism of the Bits and Pieces panel is tested to the limit, but they show up again (unlike India's Test side) for Episode 75, which spans the soap opera that is India selection, Ashwin's omission, Umesh's inclusion, Shardul's protrusion, Kohli-Pujara-Rohit-Gill's enduring irritation, Rahane's resurrection, Head's accumulation, Starc's excretion and the MCC manual's arbitrary catch arbitration. Who do we end up pinning the blame on for India's repeated defeats in ICC events? Listen on to find out.  Follow us on Twitter: 1.
