Cricket with an Accent Podcast
Sports:Cricket
On the eve of Australia's upcoming tour to Pakistan Abhishek Chopra(https://twitter.com/El_Chopernos) joins the show this week to look back at the evolution of this test rivalry. Chopra is an avid reader - who shares his recollections of the early days of this contest dating back to the Aussies first visit to Pakistan in 1956. Context is king and Chopra provides a lot of it - be it the political importance of these tours to the matting wickets. This tour did set up the beginning of a new rivalry between two nations that have played their cricket with lot of similarities.
Chopra unpacks some of the central figures of these contests from Fazal Mahmood to DK Lillee. The podcast is super rich in detail as it should be since we covered cricket spanning seventeen years. The conversation comes full circle when Pakistan tours Australia for a full three test series in 1972-73 where aggression and sledging of the Aussie attack leave an everlasting taste in the visitors psyche. Dive into the pod to learn more.
