Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy, but India would not play there due to longstanding geo-political issues. It's meant a rails run to the final via Dubai, but they're rejecting claims of favouritism. And what of Australia, the team they just eliminated?

We speak about The Gardener Show at GG, they are at the bottom of the table but are things looking up?UPW are the first and only team to successfully defend a total and win a Super Over game, are they too dependent on individual performances?

After a thumping defeat in the first Test of the Border Gavaskar series against India it seems like changes are afoot in the Australian camp. Josh Hazlewood is ruled out with injury, and one of the men added to the squad is Tasmanian Beau Webster. Beau joined Corbin Middlemas on Summer Grandstand, and so did Alagappan Muthu from Cricinfo, Darren Lehmann, Stuart Clark, fast bowler Jhye Richardson, tennis great John Fitzgerald, and Melbourne Renegades skipper Sophie Molineaux ahead of the WBBL Final on Sunday.

Season 1, Ep 4: Reloading lost episodes from the early Final Word. The 2015 Ashes came to a close, after a series of batting collapses and occasional bowling blowouts. Australia out for 60 in Nottingham, out for 136 in Birmingham, England out for 103 at Lord's - no Test was competitive, even if a 3-2 scoreline looked that way. After a final belting of England by an innings at the Oval, Geoff and Adam got together in London with the BBC's Alison Mitchell and Cricinfo's Vithushan Ehantharajah to run the rule over the series, talk through best and worst moments, assess the departing Australian captain Michael Clarke, and ponder what might be next for his unproven young replacement Steven Smith. This season was originally recorded for the ABC - this is the extended edition, restoring omitted material.

Vishal Misra is the podcast guest this week. Misra and the late Travis Basevi are considered the founding fathers of stats and cricket data. In this episode we revisit Misra's famous contributions while working at Cricinfo - which eventually changed and shaped the cricketing discourse forever. Misra and Basevi were the architects of live scoring, archived scorecards and Statsguru. In spite of being a stats Guru, Misra is a man of multitudes especially when it comes to viewing the game as a whole. He believes the stats do not tell the complete picture and context matters. He also gives his views on Cricinfo, democratization of data and continuous evolution of stats. Tune in for the complete conversation.

On this episode of STRIKE RATE: THE CRICKET ANALYTICS PODCAST we discus all the key batting metrics in T20 cricket. In part 1 we cover some of the basic stats you will find on Cricinfo before the discussion branches out during the episode. Is batting average a useful metric in T20s, or may we want to consider balls per dismissal? How influential is a player's strike rate, and what other factors should you consider when looking at that number? And which famous T20 batter is costing his team 1.5 runs before he has even faced 5 deliveries? The examples Jack uses in the show are taken from a database of all major T20 competitions over the last 3 years, excluding international cricket. You can find most of this information on Cricmetric, or you can play around with the raw ball by ball data here (with thanks to Himanish!). Jack also mentions a university paper he read on the podcast, if you want to have a read you can find that here.

New Zealand v Australia, Wellington Day 0: What will we do without Neil Wagner? A fine career comes to an end ahead of the series opener between the Black Caps and Pat Cummins' men at the beautiful Basin. For the Aussies, it's the XI as anticipated - the same side that lost to the Windies at the Gabba a month ago - and they're on the hunt for precious WTC points away from home. As for Tim Southee's team, they would do anything to get over the line against Australia in a Test Match for the first time in over a dozen years but they won't have Devon Conway's assistance in that mission, out with a thumb injury - a big blow. Bharat Sundaresan is with Adam Collins in their Airbnb/commune/hostel. And then... India v England, Ranchi Wash-up: How did it come to this? Will Bashir and Hartley ever get a game in the County Championship? And what on earth happened to Ollie Robinson?

Welcome to another edition of The Cricket Slouch.Why do we need to talk about ODIs ?In today's episode Shounak, Sandeep and I talk about the recent comments made by Mark Nicholas on the decline of the ODIs and that perhaps we should stop playing ODIs altogether, other than the World Cup.We look at this from the view of a common cricket fan, like us, and try and parse that statement down from various angles and contemplate on the reason for this, as well as come up with reasons why continuing with the format is equally important for the global health of the sport, especially among Associate countries.I hope we have been able to encapsulate this from the viewpoint of an average cricket fan and done justice to the discussion.We then segue into whether acceptance as an Olympic sport will be of any  benefit to existing and emerging countries, the cons of this, and how much funding is likely to come in. The Cricket Slouch - @Cricketing_ConvSandeep - @Sportsfan3791Shounak - @Shounak_WA Mark Nicholas' comments can be found on this Cricinfo page.Links to articles penned by Shounak on the Emerging Cricket website.Article 1 – Five Rings, Five Hundred GrandArticle 2 – Cricket makes its long awaited return to OlympicsKimber's viewpoints reference in this show can be heard on his YouTube channel.Kimber's Double Century podcast on Player FM  and Apple Podcasts

We've never done a cricket episode mostly because 3/4 of the panel doesn't really care for the sport anymore. But that's not to say we never cared for it. Chuck used to spend a fair bit of his teenage years on Cricinfo's stats pages. Srikeit gorged on Wikipedia. Naren is drawn to anything that has cricket - and by virtue of their presence in PG Wodehouse stories, means he knows a few stories. Tony of course, runs a lovely show called Bits & Pieces with friends. In celebration of the IPL, we bring to you a half pints episode - where there are 4 facts, stats and stories around the lovely sport. We digress (as we usually do) into other memories, stats, moments and stories. Join the gang as we hit this one out of the park. Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified. A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit, and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humor (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humor", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".

Women playing, watching and reporting on sport is increasingly common. Yet sports journalism is an area still dominated by men, especially in written media. The women cover sports are subject to greater criticism and abuse than male counterparts. Beatriz de la Pava talks to sports journalists from India and Northern Ireland about the love of their careers. Orla Chennaoui is a sports presenter from Northern Ireland. She works for Eurosport covering MotoGP and the Olympics. Growing up she was a national level track and field athlete. She was a news journalist and broadcaster before a job as Sky's London 2012 correspondent reawakened her passion for sport. One of India's most respected sports journalists, Sharda Ugra has been writing about cricket and other sport in India over 30 years. She got her first job as a sports writer at the Indian newspaper Midday after she and friends interviewed the cricket legend Imran Khan. She went on to be a senior editor at the sports channel ESPN in India and the CricInfo website. She's now freelance and has written several books on cricket.

What's the point of major sports events? Ten years on from London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we talk about legacy, promises, over claims and returns on investment. As the UEFA Women's Euros ends and the Commonwealth Games continuing in Birmingham, it's a subject that's ever more relevant to the business of sport, which makes ever more ambitious claims as to the short and long term returns of big events including economic benefit, participation booms and other categories of societal impact. We talk to Tim Hollingsworth and Alex Balfour. Tim is chief executive of Sport England, who held the same role at the British Paralympic Association at London 2012. Alex was the London Organising Committee's head of new media, a role he's carrying out currently on secondment in Birmingham. He co-founded cricket website Cricinfo, now part of ESPN, and runs the Generate Digital consultancy.One thing to mention before we start the conversation is the inaugural Unofficial Partner Live event taking place on Wednesday 21st September at The Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club.  Tickets have just gone on sale and you can buy them via THIS LINK.You'll find more detail about the content and format for the evening and keep up to date with guest announcements via the Unofficial Partner Newsletter that goes direct to the inbox of thousands of people across sport, every Thursday.

Here's Episode 21, and it's still the 21st century, though IPL 2022 seemed to go on for aeons. PGK, Tony, Kaus, Murali, Krtgrphr and Knittins come together minutes after Gujarat Titans' title win, to wrap up a season where nothing made sense - be it the garish CGI eagle, the Guinness-record breaking jersey (poor Dwayne Leverock), the team anthems, or the eventual champions, whom no one was backing. At the end of the day, Ashish Nehra was the winner. And KL Rahul continues to plumb new (Mundhe Baaro) lows da. * Samanth Subramaniam on India's obsession with records: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/25/magazine/why-is-india-so-crazy-for-world-records.html Jamie Alter's epic closing Cricinfo commentary lines for the IPL 2009 final: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2009-374163/deccan-chargers-vs-royal-challengers-bangalore-final-392239/ball-by-ball-commentary The crazy nesting bird that scared the bejeezus out of Harbhajan Singh and us (watch at 2hrs 41mins) https://www.hotstar.com/in/sports/cricket/indian-premier-league/gujarat-titans-vs-rajasthan-royals-m705457/match-clips/replay-gt-vs-rr-final/1540014339 * Follow us Nitin: https://twitter.com/knittins Krt: https://twitter.com/krtgrphr Murali: https://twitter.com/muralisatagopun Tony: https://twitter.com/notytony PGK: https://twitter.com/peegeekay Kaus: https://instagram.com/_kaus

Averages in cricket have been around since the days of W.G.Grace how many runs you score by how many times you're out.In 2021 Zak Crawley noted his averages of 10 wasn't a true reflection of how he was doing., this got me thinking...Do the grounds you play at make a big difference your average.So today I breakdown ground factor factors for all 18 county grounds, the best innings that made 60 that we're worth 100 on another grounds and is Ollie Pope really as good as averaging 79 in the last 3 seasons.**********Leading Edge Cricket Links**********

Often at work, when I would get bored, I would press CMD-Tab on my Mac and head off to drown myself in the joys of the internet. Movie reviews on Rediff.com, Sports writing on Cricinfo, and funny videos and trailers on Youtube. (Of course I was doing all this to learn the art of storytelling).And on Youtube, while I would watch videos by a variety of creators, perhaps the group that I enjoyed the most was All India Bakchod (or AIB). For the uninitiated, AIB was a comedy collective which created funny sketches and videos on a variety of topics. Some of their well-known series included: - The Honest series - a seriously funny take on all experiences from restaurants to flights to engineering campus placements to the Big Fat Indian Wedding- The Bollywood spoofs: Check out the viral one with Alia Bhatt, or their work with Irrfan- Political satire: the biting one on the news media or the one on electionsIt's really good stuff. I found the quality of their storytelling so good that I don't think I've missed ANY of their sketches (yep, I even liked the Pista one).I also liked the fact that AIB would always respect its writers and prominently credit them in their videos (often getting these reticent creators to appear at the end to ask for the mandatory subscribes and likes).One such writer I noticed in some of those videos was a shy, nerdy looking guy called Devaiah Bopanna. I realised later that he was the Head Writer there.Cut to - a few years later - I came across some funny posts by Devaiah on an unlikely platform - LinkedIn! And I also learnt that he - along with some AIB stalwarts like Tanmay, Nupur, Vishal, Puneet - have been responsible for the crazy viral CRED ads - including the one featuring Rahul Dravid as Indiranagar ka gunda and Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad as members of a boy band.And then I decided that I need to get Devaiah on my podcast to get his take on the craft of storytelling. It took some time, but I'm glad that I persisted.Devaiah is a multifaceted and thoughtful creator. During the conversation he talks about:- His curiosity being his biggest learning driver- Why he would think extra hard about the opening in a story- How AIB made its stories surprising yet familiar- The parts of storytelling where he personally struggles withIt's a fun, insightful conversation. Enjoy!A small note before we begin: There are parts where Devaiah uses some fairly colourful language. Since this is a show for adults, I've chosen to keep them in. But please be mindful in case you are listening with young folks around.Further links:Devaiah Bopanna on LinkedIn and Twitter

On this episode of the show we're joined by one of the newest members of the Black Caps - someone who has had quite a 12 months. There's been injuries, international debuts, plus a lot of learning and special memories during a year Rachin Ravindra told us he'll never forget. Rachin spoke about what it's like when your name starts popping up on Cricinfo and social media at a young age, the injury he thought had derailed his year and the moment Gary Stead told him he'd been selected for his first international tour. We talked about sharing the field with some of his heroes, batting in all conditions, helping Ajaz Patel make history, growing up while the Black Caps have consistently been one of the best sides in the world and how he'd like to see his role develop at the top level.

Few people exemplify the word ‘polymath' better than Krish Ashok to me. By day, he leads a major team at TCS which by itself sounds demanding. But what's astonishing is that he manages to balance a rich set of hobbies and side projects outside of work, while also having a family. Ashok is considered a legend by several people - thanks to his many memes, Tumblrs and music projects during the golden age of Indian Twitter. He once even gave a TEDx talk about hobbies. The interesting thing about several of these projects is how they bring intersections together - heavy metal and Sanskrit; or rage comics and Tambrahm culture; or indeed his recent book which blends science and Indian cooking. Ashok has acted as an inspiration to me many times and it was a pleasure to speak to him. And towards the end, you'll see why I consider him more Opeth than Iron Maiden.What I spoke to Ashok about:Consciously aiming for free time and how to work it into one's lifeHow hobbies and other interests can actually help the work one is doingConsuming content for learning vs enjoymentBreadth & depth of various topics Why money should not be the primary consideration for a hobbyMetrics to live life by (including "create vs consume" ratio) and why these are different for everyoneTaking control over your life from tech companies!LINKSEverything Krish AshokTwitter : http://twitter.com/krishashokHis book, Masala LabAmazon : https://www.amazon.in/Masala-Lab-Science-Indian-Cooking/dp/0143451375Goodreads : https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/54968807-masala-labHis website, which houses his many projectswebsite : https://krishashok.me/His musical projects (Linguini Stotram is a good place to start)Soundcloud : https://soundcloud.com/krishashokProbably his greatest cult project, Tambrahm RageTumblr : https://tambrahmrage.tumblr.com/A TEDx talk he did in 2011, around hobbiesYouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZnI_A6GSYEReferences made during the show:Ashok and I wrote some parody songs together for Cricinfo long back.

In this episode we speak with one of the best in the business. Jarrod Kimber has written for Wisden, Cricinfo and many many more cricket sites and publications around the world. He's authored books, worked as a commentator, an analyst and made an award-winning film (Death of a Gentleman). We've been admirers of his work for a while and were particularly taken with all the New Zealand content he's produced lately, so we invited him on the show to talk about the Black Caps journey from mediocrity to World Test Champions. After some P Diddy chat and a bit about Jarrod's own cricket fandom, we talk about the many factors behind New Zealand's growth as a cricket side in recent times, which sees them hold top spot in both Tests and ODIs after beating Virat Kohli's India in the WTC final. We discuss what makes Kyle Jamieson so special, why Neil Wagner takes wickets even though everyone knows exactly what he's trying to do, the role of analysts at the international level and where New Zealand sits compared with the Big Three of India, England and Australia. To finish the show, we pan out to take a wider look at the World Test Championship, ICC tournaments, associate nations and franchise cricket to examine how they can all co-exist and what the best version of a cricket calendar might look like. There's even a lawn-mowing metaphor! For more great content from Jarrod, we highly recommend you check out his https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgxAV5Px6mAlbjh0-AU9xIA (YouTube channel), or his podcasts Red Inker and Double Century.

Eisha's friend from Bombay, Waleed Hussain, is a writer, editor, photographer, teacher and mentor. He has spent a good part of the last 20 years as a print and digital journalist and headed the newsrooms of two national dailies in Mumbai and New Delhi. A passionate journalist who has worked with The Times of India, The New Indian Express, MidDay, The Morning Standard and CricInfo, he remains a sufi at heart. In this episode of Footloose By Shre and Eish, Mumbai-based journalist, Waleed Hussain takes us through places and civilizations where we discuss hamam (bathhouses), languages, the cultures of Persians, Turks, Afghans and Mughals before we discuss who a Sufi really is and Sufism in South Asia. #cultures #civilizations #turkey #iran #india #mesopotamia #persia #mughals #nizam #persians #empires #romans #baths #hamam #bathhouses #thetimesofindia #thenewindianexpress #midday #cricinfo #themorningstandard #afghanistan #dari #pashto #languages #turkish #persian #arabic #urdu #hindi #food #travel #history #yamuna #delhi #multan #pakistan #lahore #mumbai #hajiali #hajialidargah #sufi #sufisaints #australia #refugees #jesuswasarefugee #unitingchurchaustralia #unhcr #asylum #islam #christianity #religions #sufism #sufisaints #fakir #spirituality #bombay Cover art: Afghan artist Rahel Majidi's 11x14 inch oil painting of a Whirling Dervish.

There's been a lot going on in South African cricket circles lately, both on and off the field, and who better to help us make sense of it all than ESPN Cricinfo's Southern Africa correspondent Firdose Moonda, who's been leading the cricket coverage in the region during this challenging time. In this fascinating deep dive into all things cricket in South Africa, we start by discussing the men's side's most recent series, and how difficult it was to assess the team's performance against a Sri Lankan squad decimated by injuries. We talk promising debutants, Quinton de Kock's leadership, the search for a Test captain, changes under Mark Boucher and why Faf du Plessis can't keep his shirt on. As we transition to the boardroom, Firdose takes us through the fallout from the Fundudzi report and we learn how close South Africa was to losing official international status. She frankly discusses communication breakdowns and a lack of cohesion as we explore transformation targets, the Black Lives Matter response, next steps, and the impact of the boardroom on the players and fans. Firdose's in-depth insight into the challenges South African cricket governance have to face, and how well they are currently navigating that path, is absolutely fascinating. We finish the show by taking a look at what's next on the field, starting with the women's team hosting Pakistan as the men head in the opposite direction for two Tests and three T20s - their first tour to Pakistan in 14 years and one that's shaping as a very interesting series as we assess where both sides fit in the Test hierarchy. You can find Firdose's work at Cricinfo at https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/author.html?author=315 (https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/author.html?author=315) - her back catalogue includes further details about many of the topics we discussed on the show.
