An unplanned show brought about by a chaotic couple of days in Ahmedabad looks back at Test cricket's eighth two-day Test since the end of World War II. Was the pitch 'poor'? How can England fare better in similar conditions in the future? Is Joe Root England's best spinner? Why does Ravichandran Ashwin remind Stuart MacGill of Steffi Graf? All those questions answered and much more in this emergency podcast.

The amazing turnaround at Kolkata not only had a nation rejoicing, it cemented the India and Australia rivalry forever. This series was now set for a grand finale in Chennai, a test that truly proved to be the icing on the cake of this magnificent series. The man nicknamed after Tone Loc’s hit Funky Cold Medina,  Colin “Funky” Miller was a maverick journeyman in domestic cricket.  But his mid-30s experiment with bowling off spin as a side hustle to his medium pace, resulted in an international career and cult hero status – whether it be with blonde, pink or blue hair.   Colin Miller joins The Greatest Season That Was Presents - The Final Frontier to talk about his journey to international cricket, and the starring role he played in the frantic finale of one of the greatest test series ever.
