The Bishop and The Bear Ep106

Welcome to the Bishop and Bear!

The T20 World Cup is behind us. Your Guerillas have been on air every day to bring you all the action and all the fun. And I think we have all agreed that it was a lot of fun.

India were worthy, if expected, champions, but there was rarely a dull moment and some awesome performances amongst the less fancied teams too. Forza Italy and Zimbabwe for a start! The four semi-finalists ultimately were deserving of their places, if England did make hard work of it along the way.

Our guest in the old Bishop and Bear, sporting whatever passes for the Indian equivalent of a Cheshire Cat grin is writer, raconteur and expert on India cricket Anindya Dutta. He’s never backwards coming forwards where
self-promotion is concerned but we are happy to recommend his excellent article Motera Massacre: T20 Bleeds Blue.

So who were your heroes, villains and fall guys from this WT20. Listen here and see if you agree with our selections for Player of the tournament overall; Bowler; Batter; Villain; Happy surprise team and Wooden Spoon team.

As the last orders bell rings, we also have time to celebrate the wicket taking
heroics of Brett Randall (IYKYK – the Bear didn’t) and ponder whether England might consider splitting the white and red ball coaching roles.

If you want to catch up with any of the games we covered, just check out our Guerilla YouTube channel.
