In this episode of the PCCI podcast, we discuss our favorite ODI games growing up. From the early hazy memories of the India-Pak Dhaka final of 1998 to the miraculous run chase in the glorious summer of Jo'burg, this pod has it all. Listen in for all this, and a lot more, with a 90s twist.

In this episode of the PCCI pod, we discuss something that isn't very mainstream. Talking about the current Indian setup's conservative approach to the T20 format (and LOI cricket in general), and how this averseness to risk-taking works against us in ICC events. Do Kohli and Sharma fit into the top 3? Does Shami deserve a look in? Have we ever found a replacement to Raina and Yuvraj? All this and more on this episode of the pod.

Join our hosts Raj and Aditya along with guest host Nishant to talk about all things cricket but more so of the most memorable test innings (1996-2011) that they have witnessed and what they remember of them as well as how they look at them now.

Along the way, they discuss cricket graphics, TV coverage, commentary, Aakash Chopra, Deep Dasgupta, Doda Ganesh, Jimmy Adams, the unfulfilled potential of Mark Waugh and the over fulfilled potential of SK Bansal and a lot more of cricket things.

The innings discussed in this segment (Part 2 of 3) are:

Adam Gilchrist's maiden hundred against Pakistan at Hobart, 1999

Rahul Dravid's 233 at Adelaide in 2003

Kevin Pietersen's 158 at the Oval in 2005

In this episode of the pod, the PCCI board members discuss some of their biggest bugbears to do with cricket. If you are a fan of Sunny G's commentary (or even better, Rohan G's commentary), this pod is for you. In the second of two parts, we discuss potential changes to the way ODI cricket is played and our reasons for why ODIs must go back to the older format of multi-lateral ODI events. Also, our take on how No-balls calls must fully be automated, and the relevance of human empires in the modern game. In the final recommendation, we discuss whether T20s merit fewer resources to the batting side (9 a side?) for the balance of the game. 

All this and more on this episode of the PCCI pod.
