As the great Mad Titan once said “I am Inevitable” And that is India at the moment as they were ruthless, dominant, excellent on their way to destroying England by 68 runs in the 2nd Semi Final today. England had no answer to the almost perfect India today as they booked themselves a place in another ICC final. My name is Munter and this is the Maximum Cricket Podcast, powered by Dominos. On todays show we discuss the reasons India were too strong for England today Was the deck stacked...

They say without sad times, you can’t fully appreciate the good times …. well if that’s the case then no one will be as appreciative as South Africa today… 1992 - South Africa knocked Out 1999 - South Africa knocked out 2007 - South Africa knocked out 2009 - South Africa knocked out  2014 - South Africa knocked out 2015 - South Africa knocked out 2023 - South Africa knocked out But now… 2024 South Africa have demolished Afghanistan by 9 wickets after bowling them out for 56. ...

Imagine a team defending 115 in a T20 match, captivating the Cricket World. The Super 8s came to an end today in one of the greatest Climaxes in Cricket World Cup History. Australia, after being tipped up by Afghanistan and suffocated by India. Required Bangladesh of all teams to beat Afghanistan. Afghanistan needed to win to qualify and what made this even more interesting, if Bangladesh won by enough they would qualify ahead of Australia and Afghanistan. It had the recipe for chaos and in...

Wowee Afghanistan has made the Super 8s very interesting. After their incredible performance against Australia where now they can beat Bangladesh and make the semis they have blown the Group with Australia and India wide open. So I thought let’s actually have a look at the tables of both groups and see how all 8 teams can still make the semis. (That’s right technically every side can still make it)  This is the Maximum Cricket Podcast powered by Dominos Pizza, my name is Munter. Sit back,...

Kane Williamson has declined a NZ contract and will relinquish the Captaincy for the T20 and One Day side, was the article released today. WHAAAT….. THE…..

This is an EMERGENCY PODCAST as we try and make sense of the huge news out of NZ where arguably the greatest cricketer this...

Welcome back to a T20 World Cup Wrap Up Show.  India, Australia, and South Africa have cruised through the group stages unscathed.  Afghanistan and the West Indies put the NZ golden Era into retirement England went Minnow Bashing to sneak past Scotland after they were pipped by Australia at the death.  USA got a gift from the weather gods to put Pakistan out of their misery and today Bangladesh took care of Nepal to book the last place in the Super 8s… Who Comes out of the Super...

18 Months Ago, India, England, NZ and Pakistan were rightful semi finalists to the last T20 World Cup in Australia. Fast forward to today and only India has qualified for the Super 8s, NZ has been knocked out by a team that didn’t even qualify for the last 2 World Cups in the West Indies (more on that later don’t you worry). And England and Pakistan are on the brink, relying on USA and Scotland to do them a favor. It’s a changing of the guard for everyone except India, who just keep doing...

Death… taxes…. And Pakistan losing from a seemingly unloseable position Against USA, they were defending 12 off 3 balls…. They lost Today against India, they were 80/3 off 14 Overs chasing 120…. They only required 40 off 36 Balls That’s a win probability of 93%…. And they lost…. Again The Difference? Jasprit Bumrah bowled that 15th over and changed the game like he so often does 3 runs conceded The Wicket of Rizwan Not only that but In his first spell he picks up Babar In...

This is your T20 World Cup Wrap up Show by everybody’s 8th favourite podcast…but you could be forgiven into thinking it’s the World Test Championship going on with some of these run rates.

Welcome back to “The GOOD THE BAD AND THE LAND OF FREE” where we bring you up...

The T20 World Cup is here….let’s talk about it! USA ended up running out comfortable winners against their oldest rivals in sports Canada… did you hear it’s the oldest rivalry in sports because it was mentioned once or twice! The West Indies almost slipped up on the banana skin that was PNG, normally a minnow upset is what we want but the Windies losing early would have been disastrous for the tournament annnnd Namibia outlasted Oman in a Super Over after a low scoring but incredibly...
