This is the official pod for all cricket tragics. From the trauma of the 90s to the heights of the Noughties, if you are a cricket fan, this is the pod for you. Also, if you love the niche and the obscure discussions around cricket (color of TV graphics in the 90s, broadcast theme music), this is also the pod for you. This is as much the pod for a Noel David fan as it is for an ABD fan!

4.4 out of 5 stars from 132 ratings
  • A cricket tragic’s voice of reason and tone of sanity

    This is without a doubt the best cricket centric podcast focussing on Indian cricket. The creators cover not just the gameplay on the field but also the associated aspects off the field, representation aspects, player welfare situation, fan behaviour and the entire cricket economy underlying the Indian Men’s and Women’s Cricket.

  • Slow but excellent niche discussions.

    What i liked the most about this podcast is their simplicity while talking about anything cricket. They dont give you that snoobish feel. Also the podcast with Ahmer Naqvi aka karachikhatmal was really good. Hope you can do one with Hassan Cheema and Osman samiuddin. Cheers. Keep going.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Talking Sri Lankan Cricket with Andrew Fidel Fernando
Q: What did you think of the on-field confrontation between Asitha and Jaiswal, and how should such incidents be handled strategically by governing bodies?
Fidel argues that physical contact is a red line and should be punished more severely when initiated by a bowler; he supports stricter, consistent disciplinary measures and criticizes misaligned fines, emphasizing that aggression on the field detracts from the sport and should be addressed with clear rules.
Bangladesh's Evolution at Darwin ft. Mohammad Isam
Q: What changes have allowed Bangladesh to become a serious Test-playing nation?
A combination of long-term World Test Championship participation, development of fast-bowling talent, strategic coaching with bodies like Phil Simmons, and leadership under Shanto have collectively raised consistency, discipline, and confidence in high-pressure situations.
Cricket's Development & Growth with Eddie Fitzgibbon
Q: The first question I want to ask, and this is a very broad question, so feel free to take it in any direction. You feel that we should talk about, why do World Cups exist?
World Cups exist as the pinnacle and driving engine of the sport's ecosystem, tying national pride to a premier competition and generating significant revenue that funds broader development and governance efforts.
Project Milaap with Sharda Ugra, Mohammad Isam & Ahmer Naqvi
Q: Who does international cricket exist to serve?
International cricket serves everyone involved, but it has become increasingly dominated by discussions of revenue and power dynamics.
India are World Champions ft. Sharda Ugra
Q: What does this World Cup victory mean for the future of women's cricket in India?
This win signifies a pivotal moment for women's cricket, marking both a culmination of years of struggle and a new beginning for the sport in India.
