The No Balls Cricket Podcast

The moment two years of Test cricket has been building up to is here. And so, just in time, hours before the World Test Championship final is set to start, we have a podcast to preview it. If you're …

Some of you may have noticed that though we claimed to love our new concept, a pod in 20 minutes, we often (code for always) go over our self-imposed 20-minute time limit. You're absolutely right. An…

If anyone thought we couldn't find something to talk about even when there's almost no cricket on, well, you haven't been paying attention. Clearly, we love to talk, and we will find our ways. And th…

The IPL is off for the time being, after the powers that be finally saw sense and realized how big a risk this whole endeavor was in the middle of a pandemic...especially after the pandemic started h…

We've convinced ourselves that our T20 in 20 format is a genius idea. It certainly rolls off the tongue, and sounds exceedingly clever — 20 minutes to talk about a 20-20 game, how smart! — and there'…

IPL season is upon us, and in the spirit of the times, we have a new format for our round-up of the best, biggest, most significant tournament in cricket: T20 in 20, where we round up the week that w…

We mentioned last week that Rob Moody was our first guest on the pod (speaking of which, please check out Episode 12 if you haven't already!) because we were sure Niket was going to be on again at so…

We are BUZZING after this episode. It's our coolest one yet!

For the first time, the No Balls Cricket Podcast has a guest! (We're not counting Niket, who 1. Fucked up his pitch tips so badly we'd rat…

It's rapid fire time. We tried setting a time limit on ourselves. And failed, but not that badly, so maybe we actually succeeded? We'll leave that one up to you.

Aditya's back to round up the India-E…

This episode carries special meaning for us, as friend of the pod Rohan Das tragically passed away last week. 

In his honor, Siddhant was joined by fellow friend of the pod Aayushraj Soni, with Adity…

There was a big update from West Indies cricket just after we recorded our last episode, and we thought we might do a live episode to react to that. So we did. Except, four days later. And not live. …

Ian's back, which can only mean one thing: we're talking about the finer points of dentistry in Guyana. Like, for example, whether West Indian batsmen have the precision to deal with good spin bowlin…

Lend us your ears, we come to bury England, not to praise them.  

That's right, India wrapped up a series win, booked their spot in the World Test Championship final, and Aditya and Siddhant are here…

Do you like the IPL? We like the IPL. Sort of. Siddhant hates it but loves the entertainment it provides. Aditya appreciates how it's helped a lot of cricketers but doesn't really care about it day-t…

Big news - we're moving up in the world. We're now on Spotify! And Anchor, Pocket Casts, and Podcast Addict as well.

In honor of this huge moment of a plucky, fun-loving group doing big things, we ha…

Long before he became respected journalist (and now disrespected former journalist, apparently), back when Aditya was just starting off as a sportswriter, he had a client who liked to say: expect the…

In the true spirit of India’s upcoming series against England, we’re one-upping the London busses: no podcast for two years, then two episodes in two weeks.

If that particular cliché made you groan, …

The team was down a key man. Others weren’t in the country, either. And so, it looked hopeless, if not already over.

We mean us. We’re baaaaaaaaaaack.

As far as overcoming absences and coming back wh…

This is an archival episode from June 5, 2019.

We’ve redefined the concept of a World Cup preview, in that we waited until almost every team has played a game, and some teams have played two, to get …
