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.

Episode 6
Hello and Greetings everyone and welcome back to another episode of The Cricket Slouch.
Today’s episode is going to focus on the East Asia Pacific T20 Regional sub-qualifiers A, and even more specifically on the Cook Islands team and their performance and their heartbreak at the tournament.
I am joined by Rahul Patil for this episode as he discusses the team’s performance, heart break at the last game, cricket in general in the Cook Islands, their recent progress domestically and internationally as well as attempts that are being made to introduce the game to the youth. He also gives his view on the recent ICC change to the pathway from sub-regional qualifiers to the World Cup qualifiers.
