Out there for over a 12 months
On this week’s Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Shara, we assess the opening phases of the T20 World Cup, because the competitors heads in direction of the Tremendous 8’s stage. The workforce talk about the aftermath of the on-off-on India Pakistan sport and whether or not former England captain Michael Atherton’s evaluation that the sport is now ‘a depressing spectacle’ is a good remark, plus we talk about the most important shocks and rejoice the successes of the ‘smaller’ nations competing.
With the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in full swing, may cricket be part of the social gathering? The Tallinn Hippos have defended their ‘cricket on ice trophy’ title in Switzerland’s St Mortiz. We communicate with their captain Stuart Hook about taking part in the sport on essentially the most unlikely of surfaces, and the cricket scene in Estonia.
Plus, may the Massive Bash be heading to India? The workforce talk about the potential for the competitors’s opening match heading to the sub-continent.
