MP3•Thuis aflevering

In episode 156 of the 81allout podcast we are joined by former India Test cricketer and Ranji Trophy colossus Abhinav Mukund - who has now turned into an astute analyst on TV. Abhinav is piqued by Kartikeya Date's latest article in ESPNcricinfo (Do India choke in high-profile ODIs) and shares his perspective on how a player approaches (and talks about pressure), and weighs in on the question: is pressure a good parameter to explain the result of a match?

Talking Points:

The times when a player feels he is in the 'middle of a volcano'
How players talk about the game and their part in it
What players mean when they talk about 'pressure'
Does pressure affect performance in a sustained manner?
Talking about skill v talking about mental faculties
Is it fair for strangers to make assumptions about players' mental abilities?
The problem with attributing the result to mental strength/weaknesses
What happened to South Africa in the 2015 World Cup semi-final?
The value of finding a mindspace when 'nothing matters'
