In parallel, T20 cricket is ramping up with the CPL, and the Eng-Pak T20Is starting in just a few days.

Ashwin, DJ and Varun can barely keep it together in this week’s emergency podcast recording triggered by MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina’s sudden international retirements on India’s Independence Day. Things get emotional as we struggle to deal with the unexpected departures! In the remainder of the show, we round-up the second England v Pakistan test, provide an IPL 2020 update and discuss the WWT20 Netflix documentary.

On this week’s episode Ashwin joins DJ as they discuss all the biggest news in the world of cricket. They start with Ireland’s ODI win in the final ODI of the series, move to England’s win over Pakistan in the first test before chatting Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals net session and World Cup postponements. The second half of the show is a chat with England speedster Tymal Mills, we talk everything from his introduction to cricket to his IPL contract, racism in cricket, other fast bowlers around the world and his involvement with his company, the Pace Journal.

This week we bring to you another international cricketer as special guest, India women's fast bowling all-rounder Shikha Pandey! We dig deep into her journey as a cricketer and some amazing stories about early life, as well as the heartbreaking 2017 World Cup finals and 2020 T20 World Cup. We can't wait to see her back in blue charging in with her signature headband to bowl for Team India! Shikha is on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/shikhashauny/

With IPL 2020 all set to make a return on September 19, this week we have the ‘voice of the IPL’ Danny Morrison on Edges & Sledges. Danny indulges us as we speak to him about all sorts of stuff - his commentary career, the various leagues, getting Sachin Tendulkar out and having a full head of hair. We even ask him some listener questions. And all this while Danny helps his wife cook dinner! Our IPL listener campaign is back on too. Send in a voicenote at [email protected] telling us about yourself and why you support your IPL team. Get involved!

This week we record in the midst of the fourth day of the second test match between England and the West Indies. We discuss the fallout of Jofra Archer’s bio-secure bubble breach, Dom Sibley’s slow hundred to set up England’s innings and Stokes’ magnificent 176. DJ also gets quite grumpy about Dom Sibley’s backing up technique (find out more in the thread here: https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1284120513976074240?s=21). Recording during the test match means we make some pretty awesome predictions! We then talk about which format of cricket is our favourite and the results of a recent Twitter poll in which test cricket got 70% of the vote, putting it well ahead of the other formats (see https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1278646398532161538?s=21 and is test cricket dying? https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1278646398532161538?s=21). Varun and Ashwin discuss the commercial aspects of test matches and the marketing of cricket (see link to article DJ mentions where test cricket is being used to save the Big Bash https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29462879/adelaide-oval-prime-venue-bbl-no-10%3fplatform=amp). After the break we discuss the rules and regulations of 3T cricket, the trillion dollar question of how cricket should break into the American market (https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1284152244468879369?s=21) and rumours of the return of our beloved Indian Premier League in the UAE later in the year (https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29485966/ipl-2020-likely-played-uae-september-november).

Live cricket is finally back! In the first half of the show, Ashwin joins DJ as we discuss the big talking points from the West Indies win over England in the first test at Southampton - we cover it all, from the rainy restart to Black Lives Matter to Ben Stokes v Jason Holder to Tino Best v Archer to Jermaine Blackwood’s brilliant 95 in the chase. In the second half, Varun and DJ get the amazing chance to speak to English left arm spinner Monty Panesar. We talk about Monty’s Gujarati (?) roots, his early career and making it to play test cricket for England and taking Sachin Tendulkar as his first test wicket. We also talk about his batting in the famous Ashes test at Cardiff and beating India in India in 2012. Monty tells us some sledging stories and how he battled with mental health issues. We include a lot of listener questions.

On this week’s episode DJ and Varun discuss the latest happenings in the world of cricket starting with DJ Bravo’s new song about M.S. Dhoni and the Panyda brothers’ social media fitness battle with Virat Kohli. We also talk about the restart of cricket with the West Indies tour of England kicking-off on 8 July and developments in Sri Lanka about fixing allegations around the 2011 World Cup final. The second half of the show is all about leg spin and is an interview with England Lions and Yorkshire cricket leg spinner, Josh Poysden. We talk about luck, the English first class system, how captains treat leg spinners, the best leggies going around today, Kuldeep, Chahal and how Josh bowled the ball of the 21st century in the 2018 T20 blast (link: https://twitter.com/vitalityblast/status/1029801304787509248?s=21) Josh’s Cricinfo profile by George Dobell: http://m.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/464110.html You can follow Josh on Instagram and Twitter @JoshPoysden14 and @SpinBadger.

This week we deal with the fall-out from the IPL GOAT XI episode as Varun (46%) gloats about his win over Ashwin (41%) and DJ (13%) in the Twitter poll pitting the podcasters teams against each other. We then move on to the keenly contested Listener IPL GOAT XI contest which was won by Ajinkya Patwardhan, who saw off very tough competition from Sreekar’s team. Congratulations Ajinkya! Test cricket is going to be back on our screens pretty soon with England playing the West Indies on 8 July so we are all looking forward to this. In the meantime, Pakistani players seem to playing COVID test roulette! The second half of the show is an interview with cricketer and AFL player Guy Walker, who has played cricket for Australia under-19 and has represented the Melbourne Renegades in the BBL.

The Edges & Sledes gang goes back to its roots. With no guests on this episode, it’s no holds barred! We start with an update on what’s been happening with us since Lockdown started. We talk a little about our favourite guests on the podcast, what we have missed/not missed about the show and also call out a couple of other podcasts (TPSE, Lessons Learnt and Cricket Zone). On a more sombre note, we discuss the Darren Sammy racism issue and the untimely passing of Sushant Singh Rajput. The second half is absolute mayhem when all of us of them pick our IPL GOAT XI with a limit of four overseas players. -Why is there no Universe Boss in Varun’s team? -Why does Ashwin pick Rohit Sharma and has Suresh Raina ever batted at 5? -Why are the Pandya brothers even being spoken of by DJ in the same breath as Russell and Dhoni? And why is there no MS Dhoni in DJ’s team? Things get heated and the banter is non-stop! Write in with your comments/objections/rants and let us know what you think of the idea of a live IPL draft.

This week we talk to ex-England ODI captain Adam Hollioake. Adam shared with us his journey of playing professional cricket and what is was like to hone his cricketing skills in Hong Kong out of all places! He spoke about the success he had with Surrey especially as a leader and someone who plays a more aggressive brand of cricket. We also discussed his views on split captaincy and some great stories from the 1997 Sharjah Cup on how he had to set the field as a captain against Sachin Tendulkar. Adam shared his views on how England changed their ODI set up from 2015 to 2019 to become world champions and his thoughts on current Indian cricketers such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. You can follow Adam Hollioake on twitter @adamhollioake and on instagram @adamhollioake

This week we are in conversation with ex-England test opener Nick Compton. Nick talks to us about his formative years in South Africa, moving to England as a fifteen year old schoolboy and the influence of his famous grandfather Denis Compton. After speaking briefly about his county cricket days at Middlesex and Somerset, we focus mainly on the famous 2012 tour of India where Nick made his test debut. England won the 2012 test series 2-1 and Nick tells us some great stories of that series, including about taking guard for the very first time and (separately) being sledged by Virat Kohli. We talk about Nick’s love for India as a country, what it felt like when he scored his first test hundred and also his love for photography.

This week Ashwin, DJ and Varun have a super fun conversation with Mukul Chaddha. Mukul plays the big boss Jagdeep Chaddha (the Steve Carrell/Ricky Gervais character) in the Indian version of The Office. We talk about Mukul’s backstory, his love affair with cricket, shooting with Yuvraj Singh and continue the discussion on the cricket personalities that resemble The Office characters.

The week’s episode starts with an amusing case of mistaken identity as Ashwin and DJ are speaking to cricket journalist, podcaster and the Independent’s sports feature writer Vitushan Ehantharajah.

He is also currently playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. We get some great anecdotes from Jaydev about his test debut and playing under M.S. Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. We also ask him to tell us more about the characters in the Rajasthan Royals dressing room and the toughest overseas batsman he has bowled to. We then move on to his thoughts on the mankading controversy from IPL 2019, sledging stories, captaining Saurashtra to a Ranji Trophy win and his bromance with Cheteshwar Pujara.

It’s 2nd April and time for some serious nostalgia on this special, bonus episode of the show! Join DJ, Ashwin and EspnCricinfo’s Raunak Kapoor as the podcast walks you down memory lane, recalling memories of every game in India’s victorious 2011 World Cup campaign. The show is nearly 90 mins long - we start with the change in World Cup format from 2007 and take a fresh look at India’s 2011 squad. Along the way, there are some terrific memories, some inside stories and a ton of emotion as the podcasters relive every moment of that heartstopping campaign. Tell us your memories from 2011!

DJ, Varun and Ashwin are back and in this age of no live cricket, they have given themselves the unenviable task of picking India’s all time greatest teams. The first half is all about the test game, whereas the second half is ODIs. The debate gets heated. Tough questions are asked including: -Why does DJ drop VVS Laxman from his test XI halfway through the show? -Why does R Ashwin make Varun’s GOAT XI but not play India's next test? -Why is Viru in the ODI GOAT XI for both Varun and Ashwin? -Does Bumrah make the cut in tests or ODIs? -Do all our podcasters have way too much recency bias? Each podcaster's teams are available at https://1tip1hand.com/cricket/indias-all-time-test-and-odi-xis/ Got a better team? Who makes your XI? Write in to us and let us know.

Ashwin and Varun are joined for a very special conversation with Jarrod Kimber - journalist, author, commentator, filmmaker, and much more. Jarrod shares his journey with the game of cricket, from the early days of being part of a cricketing family, to his journey creating Cricketwithballs, eventually to an illustrious career with ESPNCricinfo. He then talks about his experience creating Death of a Gentleman, a 2015 Cricket Documentary about the big 3 countries and their role in the ICC. He shares some great anecdotes about Lalit Modi as well. As an extra surprise, Jarrod Kimber shares some great anecdotes about Rahul Dravid too! Be sure to tune in.

DJ is joined this week by Varun and Ashwin, who are both recording from their Delhi home. First up Ashwin gives an update on Varun’s exploits in their gully cricket tournament (or lack thereof). They then discuss the various cricket cancellations this week and IPL 2020 being suspended/postponed by the BCCI because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Of course, Sanjay Manjrekar’s sacking from the BCCI commentary panel comes up - was there any political motivation behind the decision? Also a new Amazon Prime documentary called “The Test” is recommended with a focus on how the Aussies view King Kohli. The second half of the podcast is a great chat with Gulu Ezekiel, author and cricket journalist. On Gulu’s podcast debut, Gulu and DJ discuss his days of covering domestic cricket, the recent Ranji Trophy final (between Saurashtra and Bengal) and his favourite cricketer across the decades. They also discuss his collection of 1500 cricket books and his upcoming books on Indian cricket - “Speed Merchants” and “Mythbusters” - before wrapping with some book recommendations. You can find Gulu on Twitter and can ask him for a full list of his collection here https://twitter.com/gulu1959 Ashwin bowling v Varun batting https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1238745660779724800?s=21 IPL 2020 options and update - https://es.pn/2vhK5qq Sanjay Manjrekar off BCCI panel https://twitter.com/sanjaymanjrekar/status/1239163465391951872?s=21 Twitter debate with Cricketingview https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1238834217884229633?s=21

DJ is joined by Ashwin from New York this week to discuss the India v Australia T20 World Cup final. They discuss the lead-up to the big day and how everything went wrong for Team India in a match that was watched by 86,174 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and by millions all over the world on International Women’s Day. They also analyse the team’s performance over the course of the tournament, including the positives to emerge for a young Indian team. After the break, they discuss what ails Indian teams in knockout matches of ICC tournaments before talking about the big inclusions/exclusions from the Indian squad for the 3 match ODI series against South Africa starting on March 12.

It’s another full house this week with Varun, Ashwin and DJ as we raise our bat after scoring our maiden ton (the only century scored during the New Zealand v India test series!). It’s also our second year anniversary episode so we get excited, emotional and also a little nostalgic in turn. But there is work to be done so we discuss India’s disastrous 2-0 series loss against New Zealand (first series loss during the WTC). We go over the opportunities wasted by Indian batsmen in the first and second innings, poor use of the DRS and once again India’s inability to get the tail out hurting them in the final analysis. We also rant a little more about India’s intent problem and its selection and team management issues with a focus on Ishant’s injury and swapping Ashwin for Jadeja. We then wrap the series with our thoughts on Kohli’s intense press conference where he snaps at the reporter asking him about swearing at Kane Williamson and the Kiwi crowd. In the second half of the show we talk about our favourite century from childhood and the Women’s T20 World Cup where Team India has topped the group and will play the first semi final. Finally Ashwin hosts a quiz about centuries for Varun and DJ. Enjoy! Link to Kohli press conference https://twitter.com/1tip1hand/status/1234399095806185477?s=21

This week Ashwin is joined by Varun and DJ to discuss the ongoing New Zealand v India test match (India trail NZ by 39 runs at the time of recording with six wickets still standing). They discuss team selection (opener/keeper/spinner) and the fallout of Ishant Sharma’s jetlag. They also discuss Kyle Jamieson’s dream debut and try and analyse India’s inability to wipe out the tail. Finally, they all indulge in some crystal ball gazing into days 4 and 5 of the first test. The second half is a superb chat with Snehal Pradhan, ex-India cricketer and broadcaster who is currently in Australia covering the T20 world cup. Ashwin speaks to Snehal about her own cricketing journey, her role models and the growth of women’s cricket around the world. They discuss the favourites for the T20 crown and take a detailed look at Team India’s chances at the women’s T20 World Cup in Australia. Snehal’s article on sledging in the women’s game: http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1180349/is-women-s-cricket-a-nicer-sport-than-the-men-s-game

This week DJ speaks to Adam Bell of the New Zealand based 'Cricketeers' podcast. Adam has previously appeared a few times on the podcast and this time, it is to deep-dive into India’s 2020 tour of New Zealand. The first half wraps the excellent 3-0 comeback win for the New Zealand side in the ODI series and identifies the big performers from both sides. The second half discusses the India and New Zealand test squads in depth and we get predictions from DJ and Adam for the best batsman and best bowler and also their predicted scorelines!

They say misery loves company, and so Ashwin is joined by DJ and Varun this week to discuss India's first series loss since the 2019 World Cup. They discuss the first ODI where the Indian bowlers had an off day allowing New Zeland to get 347 and also the second ODI where the Indian batsman failed to chase 274. They answer the big question on everyone's mind - is there any real cause for alarm? The podcasters then analyse the new opening combination of Mayank and Shaw, Rahul's middle order position, selection policy by the team management and the usual chit-chat about Kedar Jadhav's and Shardul Thakur's spot. The Saini and Jadeja partnership is also brought into the spotlight, with questions being asked afresh of Jadeja’s value. The second half of the podcast starts with the Bushfire fundraising cricket match between Ponting's XI and Gilchrist's XI and the dream match-up of Sachin Tendulkar batting against Ellyse Perry in the break. We then move on to the Indian Women making the triseries final Down Under after England women failed to qualify in the last match. Finally the show is rounded off by a quick discussion about the Under-19 World Cup final, which India was dominating at the time of recording through Bishnoi’s wickets. Listeners will of course know the result by the time the show is out - commiserations to our Indian boys and congratulations to Bangaldesh for winning their country’s first major world title.

Ashwin is joined by Varun and DJ this week to discuss India’s 5-0 T20I destruction of New Zealand. They discuss the back-to-back superovers in the third and fourth T20I, Rohit’s superlative hitting, KL Rahul’s new and improved short sleeves, Sanju Samson’s wasted opportunities and mixed messages to Rishabh Pant. Manish Pandey continues to impress them with crucial knocks in the middle order and they also discuss whether Shivam Dube has made the most of his extended run in the side. The podcast really heats up as the Shardul Thakur situation is analysed at length and there is some debate on whether he deserves a spot in the side. They also discuss whether India’s bowling has become better at defending totals and look ahead to which players they think will make it into India’s WT20 squad for the tournament in Australia later this year. Rohit’s 2009 innings against KKR - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.cricketcountry.com/articles/ipl-rohit-sharma-clinches-victory-for-deccan-chargers-in-dramatic-last-over-against-kolkata-knight-riders-26417/amp/

In this mid-week bonus episode, we get the golden chance to interview Craig McMillan, ex New Zealand Cricket, batting coach and now commentator. We speak to “Macca” and deep-dive the incredible third NZ v Ind T20 just concluded on Wednesday, particularly Shami’s last over, the big hitting innings from Kane Williamson as well as Rohit Sharma’s sixes. We also speak about his love affair with India and playing spin, being sledged by Australians, playing in New Zealand’s first ever T20 and playing in 3 World Cups and the 2007 T20 World Cup. We also ask him what it was like to be in the dressing room as batting coach during CWC19 final, how the Kiwis plotted to defeat India in their CWC semi-final and which teams he thinks are favourites to win the WT20.

Ashwin is joined by DJ this week as they relive India’s wins in the first two T20Is against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland. The focus of the first half of the show is on the batting performances of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer in both games and India’s superb bowling show in the second T20I. Are multi-dimensional cricketers like Rahul, Jadeja, Dube and Shardul the future of India’s T20 side? Or will specialists like Manish Pandey and Navdeep Saini win the day? The second half of the show focusses on the latest Ben Stokes swearing drama in the fourth South Africa v England test and the role of the South African broadcaster. There is some India under-19 discussion and finally we end up matching various Indian cricketers with the US Office characters. Tell us what you think!

It was an exciting week as India bounced back from a 10 wicket thrashing at Wankhede on Tuesday to level the series at Rajkot on Friday and then beat Australia in the Bengaluru decider on Sunday to take the bilateral ODI series 2-1. In the first half of the show, Varun, Ashwin and DJ discuss Kohli's batting position, his battle with Zampa, KL Rahul's versatility, Shami's superb yorkers, Kuldeep's guile, Bumrah's comeback and MS Dhoni being left out of the BCCI contract list. The second half is an interview with Australian cricket journalist, Melinda Farrell. Mel relives her journey to cricket journalism, gives us her thoughts on the India-Australia rivalry, Kohli winning the ICC spirit of cricket award and whether Australia has moved on from Sandpaper-gate. She also talks about her favourite pieces of cricket writing.
