Outside of the U.S., perhaps the hottest sports conversations taking place right now are about the 2015 Cricket World Cup. As the games head to the “knock-out” quarterfinals, we’ll get analysis about what to expect from Jawad Khan, “Chicago cricket enthusiast” and Worldview’s cricket commentator and Samir Chopra, professor of philosophy at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CUNY). He blogs at The Cordon on ESPNcricinfo.com and at samirchopra.com. He’s author of the books, Eye on Cricket: Reflections on the Great Game and Brave New Pitch: The Evolution of Modern Cricket.
