Duckstradamus is on fire with insighful predictions. Chance of a Kohli duck tonight?

"11% chance of a Kohli duck. (I’ll revise down quickly once he gets off the mark.)"

Kohli’s pulls off a sharp catch at square leg, but every closeup shows a face of pure despair. I guess he knows another duck’s coming his way. Although that’s not a certainty.

Maybe today, it won’t happen.

Maybe Rohit and Gill will bat 50 overs.

That fumble on the boundary was 4.

It's one of the most basic laws of cricket - if a fielder's penis is in contact with the ball while his toe touches the rope, it's 4.

The 2nd best Hitchcock movie according to our listeners is Psycho from 1960.

On our rewatch of Psycho, we discuss its status as a Christmas movie, succumbing to basic opinions and the overratedness or otherwise of the shower scene.

Here's the second part of my answer to the incredibly important niche question that's tearing my newsletter apart: 'What if Cricket was Survivor?'. Who is the Glenn Maxwell of Survivor? Who is the Tony Vlachos of cricket? All is revealed.
