“In summer of 02, I was 8 years old and just had started following cricket. I was at my cousin’s house and going through old stuff, I found a Hindi cricket magazine called cricket Samrat of April 97. It had a report of the Bridgetown test and photo of Sachin’s 92 in the first innings. India were all out 81 chasing 120. I never saw that match but reading about it back then felt like a heartbreak. As discussed on podcast, heartbreaks get less intense with time because you start understanding the game more. Every title of this podcast episode is like a dream discussion. I heard a discussion starting from my favourite theorist Benedict Anderson. The wide range of topics makes it my favourite podcast. No other podcast has me left so happy and enticed as the discussion between KD (whose lot of things I do not agree with) and A Mukund recently. This podcast gives you a bibliography and I write it in my diary to get those books and read. It breaks myths. It reminds most young fans how cricket has changed. You may agree or not with everything but that is not the point. Point is to discuss the cricket and everything. The podcast keeps discussing things that you wonder in your head like, why did I start watching cricket, was it because of a team or cricketer. In my case it was Sachin. Because commentators kept saying on the pads and so easy for him to flick and I went in my backyard and though the ball against the wall and tried to do it but couldn’t. It talks about the language of cricket, how myths are created on based of heroes, machoism. I feel I found the podcast little too late. Thanks for the show guys. At the end of the day this podcast says one thing, it’s the same game we all love. Doesn’t matter, team, format, cricketers. Fascinating stuff. Highly recommend it to all cricket tragics. Long live 81 all out. A badge of honour in deep Shastri voice!!!”

“Have checked out the vast majority of cricket podcasts. There’s a lot of decent ones but only a couple of outstanding ones. This is one of them. (Usually) Three Indians who have a global and historical awareness of the game beautifully bring it together in a sharp analytical arguments.
