Ep 90: At 6s and 7s over No. 8s

The gang this week decides to put on their combinatorics hats to work out multiple combinations for India in the upcoming World Cup, set to the sound of a million boxes being ticked at once. They are at sixes and sevens while trying to figure out the 7s and 8s for each team. There is incessant propping up of Ashwin but in kutti doses only. There is something interesting happening in every single team and ICC is listening in to this episode with intent since it might have the answer to the question of making ODIs interesting. There are new diktats being issued about the extent of wrath teams invite when they drop captains. All in all, there are bits & pieces of logic and large chunks of laughter, just like every other episode of B&P... but you already know that, don't you?
