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 5th test of the BGT 2024/25
    Jan 9 2025

    Welcome to another episode of The Cricket Slouch.

    Sandeep once again hosts this week's episode and he is joined by the regular duo of Shounak and Ajit to discuss the series finale of the BGT at Sydney, a test match that was done within 3 days on a spicy deck. A lot of What If's plague the fans and management alike, but there are bigger questions to be asked, and answered here.

    Such as the fate of seniors like Rohit, Kohli, Jadeja and Rahul, what the spin dept will look like, which pacers need to be given a chance, and the composition for the England tour. A spotlight is also shone upon Gambhir's role and whilst it is early, is he the right person to be the head coach?

    Australia take the plaudits here, but was this a really good cricket series and where does the new plan to have a 2-tier system fit in if the Big Three are the only ones in the top tier?

    This and much more in this episode !

  • The One on the Classic MCG 4th test of the BGT 2024/25
    Jan 1 2025

    Welcome to another episode of The Cricket Slouch.

    Sandeep hosts this week's episode and he has captained the team much better than Rohit in recent times. He is joined by the regular duo of Shounak and Ajit to discuss the fantastic test match that we have witnessed at the MCG where fortunes fluctuated and wobbled more than a Pat Cummins' wobble ball !

    We talk about the dramatic finish in the last hour of the game, how Australia forced a victory in what appeared to be a match heading to a draw, Pant's shot selection, Rohit's captaincy and his poor form along with that of Kohli, Jaiswal's controversial dismissal, Kohli's joust with Konstas, the Rise of Reddy and finally the possible Playing XI for the final test at Sydney.

    Sit back and enjoy !

  • The One on the 3rd Ind-Aus test of BGT 2024
    Dec 18 2024

    Welcome to another episode of The Cricket Slouch, and I am joined by Sandeep and Shounak to discuss the drawn Third test at the Gabba in this BGT series.

    We talk about India's repeated first innings failure, sub-par bowling being a problem where Bumrah has to do the salvage job over and over again, Rohit's under-par captaincy, and perhaps a wrong call at the toss, Head being India's latest bogeyman and why Hazelwood's injury might not actually benefit India at Melbourne.

    We also lament Ashwin's retirement and poke fun at Isa Guha's recent comment on Primate-related issues.

    Sit back and enjoy !
