What are the semi-final matchups in the T20 World Cup?
Yeah, go on, go on, he gets his fairytale ending. An epic way to go to a Test Match 100. The London Sphere, the first-time winners. The most remarkable thing you'll probably ever see in cricket. 6.04 and final Test wicket for Stewart Ward. It's ended. We'll win the T20 World Cup. England's captain, Ben Stokes, while he is there, England have hope. OK, the Sky Cricket Podcast returns with one of our favourite guests who we haven't spoken to since the end of the Test Series last summer against India. We're a couple of days away from the semi-finals. This is being recorded on Tuesday, tomorrow's semi-final, of course, in Kolkata between South Africa and New Zealand and the day after in Mumbai between India and England.
But we were hoping to do this at the stadium, but... Dinesh Kartik has been traveling so furiously. He's had to take a day or two's rest at home. Are you at home, DK and Chen? I am welcome. First of all, out of sheer respect and my Indian roots, good morning, Nasser. Good morning, Ather. They've told me to be very respectful of elders. But both you fossils gave me so much grief during Champions Trophy for just having my backside sat in Dubai while you all were traveling between Karachi, Peshawar, Lahore, I don't know where else, border of Afghanistan, and then came back. And now both you old doyens of this broadcasting career have just been sitting in Colombo, watching the beach, sipping margaritas, and both you lightweights have just had the most wonderful T20 World Cup ever.
In between that, when they called you for one neutral match, one, I heard you gave a lot of grief to the broadcaster. This is what both you guys have been doing in the last one month. Absolute holiday, away from your kids, from your wives, and just having the most gala time. I cannot imagine this unimaginable what you guys are up to. DK, at least we were here for before the Super 8 stages. You've just popped in, as you often do. The big time Charlie has just come in. I mean, shall we talk about the Netherlands and the USA and all the other sides? You just were not interested, were you? You just get interested when it gets down to the crucial stages. That is partly true, partly untrue. I was working in a different place for the same game.
Well, like I said, we haven't had you on since the end of the test series. It's quite hard to keep up with all your earners these days. But just maybe it might reflect a little bit on one or two things you've been doing because you've been with the Lions a little bit, haven't you? Helping them. Just tell us a little bit about your coaching experience with them and who impressed you. For a start, I think it was a very nice camp in Chennai. Obviously, conquering Asian conditions is one of the big challenges for English cricket in general.
How has the T20 World Cup progressed so far?
And about 10 to 12 boys, if I'm right, were selected. And these are not just next in line for England. These are more pathway players who they are looking at. Probably they could have a future in two, three years. So we had the likes of, say, Callaway, Calvin Harrison, Luke Bekenstein, Charlie Allison. These are very young boys. Yes. There were one or two who were on the brink of getting selected for England. One being Ben McKinney. Obviously, he was cut above the rest. You could see the experience of him having played a lot more. And I think he's a very good talent in red ball cricket. And there were a few others who were very impressive. Like Matt Travis looks like someone who could be groomed into somebody good.
For example, someone who's played international cricket also was there, Tom Hartley, who's getting his spin skills up and running. It was a really good camp. There were three Indian coaches, myself, Sridharan Sriram, who's previously worked with the Australian team, and Sriram Krishnamoorthy. Sriram, he used to work for New Zealand. He still is, I'm right, he's a New Zealand citizen, but he's now settled here. in Chennai working for the CSK Academy. So he pitched in as well. It was a wonderful camp in the sense that the boys got to practice long hours.
