Welcome all to another episode of The Cricket Slouch.

With the tragic demise of Sir Garfield Sobers, Sandeep and Shounak pay tribute to a true legend of the sport, may he rest in peace.

They then discuss the new ICC World Cup format changes, that were unceremoniously dumped upon the cricketing world and examine closely what these changes mean for the less fortunate teams.

They touch up briefly on India's test win at Lords vs England, the gargantuan run chase by Washington Freedom in the MLC tournament, and McCullum's departure from the coach's role among other things.

Enjoy !
