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.

In this episode of The Cricket Slouch, Sandeep takes charge again and hosts Ajit and Shaunak, all of whom then delve into the controversies surrounding the upcoming T20 World Cup and the squads and chances of the teams who have previously won the trophy.

They discuss the impact of Aaron Jones' suspension on Team USA due to corruption charges and how it affects their squad. Furthermore, the podcast covers the potential implications of Pakistan's threat to boycott India’s matches and how it might ripple through international cricket, not just this particular World Cup. With insights into the power dynamics within cricket’s governing bodies, the episode provides a some overview of the off-field drama that could shape the tournament.

Relax and enjoy the chat.
