Mihir Bose has been a reporter based in London for nearly five decades. He has worked for newspapers and television. He has written more than two dozen books on an extraordinary range of subjects - cricket, football, history, biography and business. Apart from Indian cricket, Bose has written about Keith Miller, Moeen Ali, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bollywood, Manchester United, Terry Venables, the Aga Khans, the Memon community, the City of London and the boom and bust of the 1980s, the Premier League, and his beloved Tottenham Hotspur among others.

His most recent book The Nine Waves presents the story of Indian cricket as a story in Nine Waves from India's international debut in 1933, to Virat Kohli's World Number 1 team of 2019. 

In today's podcast we talk about the question of four day Tests. In many ways it is not a new     question. Mihir Bose helps place the question within the business and culture of contemporary     sport and life.
