The Cricket Slouch

By: SP
  • Summary

  • A fun cricket podcast by a group of friends, who worship at the altar of the 22-yard strip bookended by 3 sticks. We love to talk cricket, have a laugh, include new people, express some polarising opinions (perhaps) and hope to help spread the word of the sport to far reaching corners. We try to keep it as kosher as we can, but there may be a few expletives every now and then. Huge thanks to Noman W and Umangi H for the brilliant podcast cover art. Tune composed using Garage Band and limited imagination.

  • The One on the Post-mortem of New Zealand's whitewash over India
    Nov 14 2024

    Hello all, The Cricket Slouch podcast is back with a broad post-mortem review of New Zealand's historical whitewash over India in India.

    I am joined by Shounak and Aryan in dissecting what NZ did well and where India fell behind in this series and wondering what may have been if certain events had panned out differently.

    Whilst NZ did the basics well, this series loss was a perfect storm of things going wrong for the Indian side and we ponder whether this side is now ready to transition towards youngsters. We talk a little about the squad for the BGT and how India are likely to perform there.

    Take away message - Paternal obligations are the secret to away wins !

    Shounak writes features for Emerging Cricket.

    Aryan writes match reports and feature articles for Guerilla Cricket.

  • The One on New Zealand's twin heists with Rahul Patil
    Oct 26 2024

    Sandeep and I are joined by Rahul Patil from Sportsfreak to talk about two of New Zealand's major cricketing achievements in the modern era - namely the women's T20 World Cup win and the men's test win in India.

    Although this was meant to be a NZ-centric discussion, it quickly meandered into familiar Indo-centric territory.

    We talk about the toss, the tactics, the batting collapse for the ages, NZ's sharp bowling and fielding, Sarfaraz's innings, Ashwin and Jadeja's declining fortunes, rise of the young brigade and the slow fading of old legends, and how to tackle spin bowling.

    And then we turn our attention to the the women's team's triumph in the T20 World Cup and how NZ beat all odds and expectations to emerge Champions and why we need to retain this format and not cave in to the Big Three.
