In February 2020, Daisy, Jonathan and Daniel came on the podcast to discuss DRS and VAR. A year later, they are back to reflect on the developments in both during the past year. The conservation is about the anxieties of evidence in VAR & DRS.
How to watch sports in the age of VAR/DRS? How does evidence work? Does the fact the evidence is produced in disciplined fashion (through measurement, and not just observation - (for example: consider the difference between what's available to the TV umpire on outside edges via RTS/UltraEdge/HotSpot, and what's available to the TV umpire on low catches) entail that spectators need to at least understand the difference between these two types of evidence and their possibilities? Is there an appetite for spectators to understand this? And if such an appetite is limited, then does VAR/DRS have a chance in the long run?
Daniel could not join us for this episode. He is a friend of the podcast, and he has made both episodes of this particular conversation possible.

Jack Shantry is a former left-arm seam bowler who played for Worcestershire. He is currently a National Panel umpire in the UK. Daniel Norcross is a cricket commentator on BBC Test Match Special.
In this conversation we discuss the laws of cricket and umpiring, and how they constitute the game. Daniel talks about the difficulties arising from having to communicate a subtle, complicated, and often arbitrary set of laws to new audiences. Jack speaks from an umpire's perspective about why certain laws are the way they are, which laws bother him (the answer is most interesting) and where the switch-hit and the lbw law might lead cricket. We also discuss whether batsmen should be out LBW after an inside-edge (its not as mad as it sounds).

This is my conversation with Abhishek Mukherjee and Arunabha Sengupta about their forthcoming book Sachin and Azhar at Cape Town: Indian and South African Cricket Through the Prism of a Partnership. Our conversation was recorded across three continents and is, in places, subject to the vagaries of inter-continental wireless communications. The book presents a rich picture of the protagonists of that stand (both Indian and South African) and the period they lived in. This is a book not just about South Africa, but about a different era in Indian and world cricket.

Mihir Bose has been a reporter based in London for nearly five decades. He has worked for newspapers and television. He has written more than two dozen books on an extraordinary range of subjects - cricket, football, history, biography and business. Apart from Indian cricket, Bose has written about Keith Miller, Moeen Ali, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bollywood, Manchester United, Terry Venables, the Aga Khans, the Memon community, the City of London and the boom and bust of the 1980s, the Premier League, and his beloved Tottenham Hotspur among others.
His most recent book The Nine Waves presents the story of Indian cricket as a story in Nine Waves from India's international debut in 1933, to Virat Kohli's World Number 1 team of 2019.
In today's podcast we talk about the question of four day Tests. In many ways it is not a new question. Mihir Bose helps place the question within the business and culture of contemporary sport and life.
