  • "VERSUS - Episode Two: "It's Not Just Cricket" India Vs Pakistan"
    Aug 10 2025

    In association with Bonds Chafe Off Undies, The Agenda Podcast presents 'VERSUS' - a podcast series that delves into the sporting rivalries and frictions that have been etched into the history books...

    Join Dylan Cleaver, ACC Head G Lane and Paul Ford for the most high-stakes cricket rivalry on the planet: India vs Pakistan.

    When India meets Pakistan in cricket, it is more than a match. It is a happening — a happening defined by shared history, by partition, by religion, border disputes, famine, assassination, tragedy, geopolitics, terrorism, nuclear threats and, of course, a fervour for the game of cricket that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world...

    Read Dylan Cleaver's full write-up on the history of the India & Pakistan rivalry HERE!

    'VERSUS: Stories Of The World's Greatest Sporting Frictions' is powered by Bonds Chaffe Off Undies!
