They also discuss the encounters between Tendulkar and Warne. Anand says Warne had already been neutralised by openers before facing Tendulkar. “He didn't carry his greatness too seriously and he wore it very lightly on his shoulders and that gave him a box-office element.”As the conversation moves to Warne's controversies, Aniketh says that “no one is black or white. Everyone here has aspects of life…and once you become a public figure, these things come out.” Aniketh mentions that he envied Adam Gilchrist's position just because he had the best seat in the house to see Warne bowl. Gowtham adds that Warne never shirked or moved away from any challenge. When they speak about the ball of the century and Mike Gatting's dismissal, Anand says, “How good a ball looks ultimately depends on how badly it was played.”The episode ends with their favourite king of spin moments, and Warne's favourite Bruce Springsteen song Thunder Road.Write to us at newslaundry.com/podcast-letters.

    In this first episode of our new podcast, NL Playoffs, hosts and Newslaundry subscribers Aniketh and Gowtham talk about the recently concluded Euro championship and Copa América. They take you through the Euro final, which Italy won after a penalty shootout against England, and the Copa final, which yielded Lionel Messi's first major trophy with the Argentina national team.Aniketh argues that coach Gareth Southgate's strategy to play a defensive game for about 85 minutes after his team had scored an early goal led to England's defeat. Gowtham points out that the English couldn't make use of the home advantage they had playing at Wembley. They also discuss the racist comments directed at Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, all of whom failed to convert their penalties in the shootout, after the match.Listen.Timecodes 2.35 - Headlines 9.35 - Copa America11.35 - Euro 202048.10 - RecommendationsRecommendationsAniketh Leading: Learning from Life and My Years at Manchester United by Alex FergusonJapan Faces Olympic Losses No Matter How It Handles the GamesGowtham Goran Ivanisevic's Wimbledon JourneyRed Inker With Jarrod Kimber by Jarrod Kimber See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
