Welcome back to the podcast where research and knowledge are secondary to the ramblings of an old man whose one claim to fame is that one of the nicknames he carries is The Almanack.

On today’s episode of The Casual Mankadder, our topics of conversation are:

1. India’s clean sweep loss to New Zealand has commentators in a bind.

2. ODI and T20 squads reveal future plans for Australia’s white ball approach.

3. A team matchup resolves little for selectors of both teams for upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

4. 1st ODI between Australia and Pakistan gets interesting at the end.

5. David Warner appointed captain of Sydney Thunder after ban lifted.

6. Ball tampering only relevant when it doesn’t involve India.

For those of you still here, thanks for listening to the Peters Sports Almanack, the podcast where knowing about sport is secondary to the ability to talk rubbish about it.
