As is always the case, our minds are full of questions after the recently concluded Test Series …

1. Did NASA need to spend so much money in search of extra-terrestrial life or would it have been enough to just watch Rishabh Pant reverse sweep Jimmy Anderson?

2. What did Mr. Sundar tell Washington’s team mates?

3. Would England stand a chance if they were to include 30 batsmen in their Playing XI?

4. Why do we always resist Parivartan like Amitabh Bachchan?

5.  What is a poor pitch? And who decides that?

For the last answer, in particular, the Beardos have scoured the internet and become overnight experts on everything related to the Pitch. We break down ICC’s framework of pitch assessment for you, so that you can decide whether the pitches in the India v/s England test series were Good, Bad or Ugly!!!

All this and much more in this info-taining episode of the Beardos Cricket Chat and Insight!!
