Episode 9 Beardos, Sledges and 2001 Kolkata

In this Very Very Special episode, the Beardos seek to motivate themselves and the Indian Cricket team for the upcoming Boxing Day Test match. We recount some famous incidents of Sledging in the past to bring out the competitive edge in the team rather than the edges of their bats. We look back at one of the most memorable turn-arounds in Test match history and take you on a trip to 2001 Eden Gardens and recount how VVS transformed from Vangipurapu Venkata Sai Laxman to Very Very Special Laxman in the same way that Tony Stark transformed into Iron Man. Look out the story behind some interesting quips on the field – - Why did Sehwag ask Clarke “Hey Pup, which breed?” - Why was Javed Miandad so interested in Dilip Doshi’s room number? - And was Merv Hughes a good bus conductor? And we want you to tell us “Who said it better?” - Steve Waugh at Eden Gardens or Vicky Kaushal in Masaan - Ajinkya Rahane or Tridev’s Sunny Deol Tell us your favorite sledges and feedback on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram @bcci.podcast “Episode achha laga ke nahi yeh feedback se pata chal hi na jaayega!!” Hosted by the 3 Beardos – Amlan Sengupta Sameer Dohadwala Dipen Kothari Special Thanks to Chief of Marketing – Shraddha Mukul Head Critic – Siddhi Sengupta #Cricket #AusvsInd #Boxing Day #MCG #Bhaubhau
