Another weekend, more stories – this time with a strong Australia v India theme ahead of the Test series. What’s Geoff’s Angel Number? When was the only time a ten-for was taken in the Ranji Trophy? The questions we also consider. There’s time for a Dusty Old Bastard and a Paul Kelly ode reimagined. After the break, from the Calling the Shots documentary we have our full interview with the man who makes Test Match Special sing, the programme’s long-term producer, Adam Mountford.  

(Sorry about the audio quality in the first half an hour or so, blame it on quarantine)
