Ep 86: There are some things Mastercard can’t buy...

Big Cricket scenes are upon us again with the Asia Cup, the Asian Games, the ODI World Cup scheduled for the near future. This week's podcast has the five friends still feeling unsure about the ODI WC schedule and thinking about first world problems related to which credit card is better for which event - that conversation Ark is as "deluge-ional" as a certain Noah's jokes. They wibble endlessly about Mankading and Womankading yet again and they plan to construct a church in the honour of (Cameroon's) Douma-nkading. They do their weekly Logical Reasoning as well as Athletic Seasoning practice with the context of KL Rahul's niggles, Yo Yo Tests, India playing XI formations and they listen in to the dispatches of our Diaspora Affairs correspondent from England, Rachana Ramchand from the Blind cricket World Cups for Men and Women.
