Ep 63: Wit and lager with Peter Lalor

On Episode 63, we discuss cricket et cetera with the renowned Australian cricket (and beer) writer Peter Lalor. Peter has been coming to India for 30 years, and has seen more of India than most of us, and his outside-in observations on the country's cricket, politics, infrastructure, economy, and yes - beer - should make for interesting listening. Should Australia have come earlier to acclimatize to India ahead of the BGT? Will Cricket Australia convince Cameron Green to get a strategic niggle to withdraw from the IPL ahead of the WTC final? Tune in for the answers.
