Episode 1: The Return of the Aussies with Gideon Haigh and Osman Samiuddin (Preview of the Australian tour of Pakistan)

In this episode, I am joined by two of my favorite journalists—Gideon Haigh and Osman Samiuddin—to discuss the return of the Aussies to Pakistan. We preview the tour, and discuss the history of the rivalry between Pakistan and Australia. Gideon Haigh is an Australian journalist and non-fiction writer based in Melbourne, Australia. He has written far too many books for me to list here, but I will mention his latest non-fiction book, The Night Was a Bright Moonlight and I Could See a Man Quite Plain , which is a true story about an Edwardian cricket murder. I heard Gideon talking about it on his own podcast, Cricket, etcetera . Osman Samiuddin is a Senior Editor at ESPN Cricinfo in London. He is also the author of an excellent book on the history of Pakistani Cricket, The Unquiet Ones: A History of Pakistan Cricket .
