The One With Nate Hays on an American POV to the T20 Cricket World Cup Artwork

The Cricket Slouch

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 With Nate Hays on an American POV to the T20 Cricket World Cup

May 31, 2024 • S.P • Season 3 • Episode 2

In this episode, I sit down with Shounak and Nate Hays to discuss the upcoming Cricket T20 World Cup from an American perspective. We talk about Nate's foray into cricketing fandom, the Big Innings podcast and his venture with Jomboy, the Ball in Play League.

We fawn over USA's first ever series win over Bangladesh and then move on to discuss the various venues for the World Cup, some politics, fan expectations, chances of the USA team, rivalry with Canada, and Nate's involvement in the WC as an Announcer at the grounds, and whether attending the opening match is more important than his daughter's birthday.

Some chit chat about other new teams in the tournament then wrap up the episode.

Both Shounak and Nate write for Emerging Cricket and Nate's podcast can be found on the website as well as his channel on Youtube.
