This may or may not be the last episode of No Balls Cricket. Are we being dramatic and dumb? Would anyone listening to us think we're capable of such behavior? (Don't answer that.) What exactly we mean by that, is revealed in the episode, where we also discuss Sid's cricket "escapades", Ashwin's latest tactical controversy, and of course, more of our favorite pastime...dunking on England cricket.

Cricket had its own version of March Madness last month, with three Test series going on simultaneously and the month culminating in the Women's World Cup. We'll review that thrilling tournament in a special episode, but for now we're focusing on the Test cricket that we saw, or didn't see, given how some of it put us to sleep. Can you blame us? India were dominant against Sri Lanka as one would expect, and the first two Tests both in the West Indies and in Pakistan were absolute snooze...

We mentioned last time that, in true No Balls Cricket fashion, we were releasing a preview episode just in time for the start of a tournament or series. Well, hold that thought. We may have gotten the Women's World Cup preview out ahead of the tournament starting (or rather, on the day it started, and after the first match had begun), but we have outdone ourselves with the next one: our preview of the three men's Test series going on across the world simultaneously. With the first Test over...

In true No Balls Cricket fashion, we have yet again cut it fine with a series or tournament preview. Two, in fact, as we've also got a preview for the three Test series that are going on in the world at just about the same time, which is going to be up in a day or two...after two of those Tests have started. In the meantime, we've got a special episode to preview the women's World Cup (which actually began this morning). Australia are the clear favorites for the trophy, but that was true in...

For those of you who are regular listeners, you know we have a long-standing joke about being "respected" journalists. Aditya has worked in sports content for most of his career, which has included some journalistic work, and Sid...well, Sid is a dentist/surgeon but recently interviewed a cricketing legend, so we'll give him his due there. It's clear how much we love this particular running gag. So imagine our delight when our exact phrasing – "respected" journalist, with the respected part...

We've come to the realization that our podcast is sort of a cricketing grim reaper. Apparently, the two of us, without even trying, have an outsized influence on events in the cricket world, an influence that ends up having some severe repercussions on high-profile cricketing figure (again, please remember that this is without us actually trying).  Why do we think this? Well. Our episode releases just happen to have coincided with resignations and sackings in the last few months. So we've...

This was supposed to be another special episode, or at least one with a guest, since we're previewing the India vs West Indies series. Talking West Indies cricket usually means having a certain dentist from Guyana on, but, surprise surprise, Dr. Ian Jagan is a... (you know what the word is). Given the chaos that has gone on in Indian cricket recently, previewing any of their series is a difficult task, not least because of the confusing selection decisions for both the T20 and ODI legs. But...

Okay, we had our serious episodes with the two-part Mohinder Amarnath interview, which of course we LOVED doing and are extremely proud of, but we had to get back to the basics after that. Which for us meant our favorite pastime: laughing at England. Welcome to our 2021 review show, which doubled up as an Ashes review show, and England featured prominently all around for how colossally embarrassing they were all year. Aditya's back after missing out on the Goa fun and the whole interviewing...

We hope you enjoyed Part 1 of our interview with Mohinder Amarnath! Sid and his dad were clearly enjoying themselves as they spoke to the legend about his cricketing days, and why wouldn't they be – sat in Goa chatting cricket with one of the best to ever play for India. That's the dream!   There's a lot more to come, with more tales from the 1983 World Cup and cricket around the world – here's Part 2!

This is a big moment for No Balls Cricket: our first-ever interview with a cricketer! Sid's dad, Dr. Suchetan Pradhan (who, it should be noted, is our chief sponsor – or, to be more accurate, head dentist at our chief sponsor, Pradhan Dental Centre) does a bang-up job as a stand-in journalist. Our newfound in-house expert on 1970s and 80s Indian cricket has earned an official No Balls Cricket nickname, the "Indian Tony Cozier".  But enough about Sid's dad. Our guest today is the legendary...

We know we're coming back from a break, but recent updates from the cricket world make us wonder if we should have stayed off the air entirely. Seems like these days every time we record an episode, Virat Kohli resigns (or rather, "resigns") or gets removed from Indian captaincy from one format. It's the end of an era for Indian cricket, and though we'd always like to see these things end on a high, it seems quite apt for India that the end has come amidst drama and politics with no one...
