On the eve of the landmark Day Night Test Match between Australia and New Zealand, Ayaz is right in the middle of the action in Adelaide. In this episode, the host, CP Thomas, and Ayaz discuss the apprehensions amongst players from both teams. On the day-night factor, as well as the role of the pink ball. Interestingly, even as the whole attention revolves around this revolution in Tests, Cricket Australia has announced that the records of players from the 'rebel' World Series Cricket will be officially recognised. Ayaz touches upon this development, because the Kerry Packer series was indeed a path-breaking event which shook up the world of cricket. And while discussing Test matches, it is hard to ignore the batting debacle of South Africa, the current top-ranking country, on Indian soil. Is the devil in the pitch or in the minds of the batsmen? Not just the South Africa ones, but even the Indian stars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
