247. Me Think It Mazing, with Jimmy Neesham and Alex Malcolm

We’re back! Because when there’s international-cricket-with-actual-jeopardy, we can only kneel to hoover up these last remaining crumbs. Along the way we’ve also got Stokes selling salad stories and quoting Spiderman, lid-lifting about Bairstow and Piers gear, hard-hitting journalism about Modi’s India/Bharat and the BJP, and why the World Cup will be perversely good. New Zealand all-rounder and debutant Father Jimmy Neesham joins us to talk about light horses and environments, while CricInfo’s Alex Malcolm lays bare Australia’s issues ahead of next week’s tournament. AskTGC comes in from Loose McNasty, pertaining to impossible social dynamics caused by one’s identity as “The Cricketer”. Excuse the indulgence, but me think it mazing.
