Episodes

  • On our midweek 2024 IPL reaction we discuss three games, featuring: Sunrisers Hyderabad v Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans v Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings v Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

    The main story is Sunrisers Hyderabad who, led by Klaasen, Head and Abhishek Sharma blitzed their way to the IPL record score of 275. Mumbai Indians were caught in the headlights as their bowlers were punished by the Sunrisers who were in amazing form. 

    Earlier in the week Chennai Super Kings overcame the Titans with ease, as MS Dhoni took a great catch along the way.

    And Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first match of the year as they jumped all over mistakes from the Punjab Kings.

  • MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings take on Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore. CSK v RCB is a classic of the IPL and a fitting way to begin the tournament, but who will take the bragging rights on this occasion?

    The 17th edition of the IPL is here! CSK got things going against RCB, eventually recording a comfortable win in Ruturaj Gaikwad's first game in charge. RCB started well, but 4 wickets for Mustafizur and an electric start to Rachin Ravindra's IPL career were good enough for Chennai.

  • On this episode of The Cricket Podcast we continue with our IPL 2024 Team Previews. This episode is our final episode of the team preview series and features Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings,.
    Delhi were pretty bad last year and will be looking to bounce back. Will the return of Rishabh Pant take them to glory, or do other flaws in their team mean that another tough season is ahead.
    Punjab Kings were also pretty bad last year. However, they do promise to be entertaining, with an exciting bowling line up featuring Arshdeep Singh, Nathan Ellis, Rabada, Rahul Chahar and more! Can they get it together with the bat enough to make it to the play-offs?

  • On this episode of The Cricket Podcast we continue with our IPL 2024 Team Previews. This episode is a big one, featuring three of the biggest franchises in the Indian Premier League: Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. Are any of them contenders for this year's IPL title.
    Chennai Super Kings go into this year after winning the tournament last year. MS Dhoni is still in charge and with players like Jadeja, Chahar, Moeen Ali, the Dube and more backing him up they look like they could be a threat to win the IPL again. Can they secure another championship or might this be one tournament to far for the legendary Dhoni?
    Royal Challengers Bangalore made a big trade before the auction, picking up Cameron Green to bolster their batting. Along with the acquisition of Alzarri Joseph they seem like they could have improved for this year's IPL. However, there are weaknesses in other areas of the team and their bowling, in particular, looks like it could come under pressure. Will RCB be able to pull it together and finally deliver Virat Kohli the title he wants?
    Finally we talk Kolkata Knight Riders. They feature an exciting batting line up with Rinku Singh, Andre Russell and now Phil Salt providing serious firepower to their batting card. Backed up by a spin trio lead by Narine they could be a real handful with the ball too, especially if we see Mitchell Starc hit his stride. Could they be the dark horses for the IPL title?

  • NOTE - In the episode we say there will be 5 teams previewed in this episode, however things got out of hand - so we chopped the episode up and there will now be 4 IPL Team Preview episodes! The next episode will drop on Thursday (13/3) with parts 3 and 4 coming on Saturday and Monday.

    It is IPL 2024 preview time! This two part preview will cover every team in the competition in detail. Starting with the captain and coach, then moving on to strengths and weaknesses, the boys also throw in a comparable car, probable XI and season prediction.
    Rajasthan Royals are up first, what are their chances during this season. They feature an explosive batting line up, including Jaiswal, Buttler, Samson and Hetmyer, as well as quality bowlers like Boult. However, might they be exposed at the death?
    Mumbai Indians have a god squad. The sky is the limit for Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Tim David, Rohit Sharma, etc. But will a captaincy change cause trouble?
    Sunrisers Hyderabad finished bottom last season, but they went shopping in the auction and now things could change. Lead by Pat Cummins the team also features Hasaranga and Klaasen, but their domestic core is not as exciting as other sides.

  • England were crushed by India in Dharamsala as India completed a 4-1 series win over England. Day three of the 5th Test didn't even last until tea as England collapsed again with only Joe Root showing any fight. 

    Ashwin and Kuldeep were the destroyers again as the gap in quality between the two sets of spinners showed again. 

    The question everyone will be asking now is, IS BAZBALL DEAD?

    Probably not, but throw bazball in a title and your sure to get noticed.

  • Rohit and Gill dominated England on day two of the 5th Test in Dharamsala. India scored over 450 runs in their innings, leaving England with a mountain to climb to even make them bat again. 

    Centuries for Rohit and Gill lead the charge, as England toiled, with only Shoaib Bashir providing any substantial threat. 

    It is a question of when, not if India will wrap up this Test now.

  • On day one of the fifth Test between India and England, this time at Dharamsala, India are again on top early. England started well, thanks to Zak Crawley scoring fluently. 

    However, after the spinners came on England struggled again, losing 5 wickets for 8 runs. Kuldeep did the damage again as he picked up Crawley, as well as the key wicket of Ben Stokes. 

    Then Ashwin did his thing to help clean up the tail.

  • On day 4 of the fourth Test England had an uphill task, however a few breakthroughs made the game interesting. India now take a 3-1 series lead and which means they have won the series. This will be a bitter pill to swallow for England who had the best of large parts of this Test match, but ultimately were unable to get over the line.

    Unfortunately for them Jurel and Gill came together and steered India to a comfortable win.

  • England and India continue their story with another intriguing day of Test cricket. On day 3 of the 4th Test England started the day looking to wrap up the Indian tail, however Jurel was able to add crucial runs which put England under pressure in their 3rd innings. 

    In response England started well, with Zak Crawley getting another 50 in fluent style. However, long spells from Jadeja and Kuldeep tore through the England middle order to leave them in trouble and put India into the ascendancy.

  • On day four of the 3rd Test at Rajkot India have been completely dominant. England were on the back foot to start the day and things only got worse as Jaiswal smashed the ball all over the place. Nobody was safe as a dominant Jaiswal racked up a second double-century of the series. 

    In response England could offer nothing as they collapsed again.

  • On day two of the Rajkot Test match Ashwin brought up his 500th Test wicket. An incredible achievement from Ashwin who confirms his status as one of the greatest spinners of all time. 

    Ben Duckett lead England's fightback as he unleashed Bazball on the Indian bowlers, smashing 133 off just 118 balls.

    Earlier in the day India were able to go past 400, despite an early England fightback. Jurel on debut and Ashwin with the bat were the players to frustrate England before Mark Wood was able to wrap up the innings.
