The DesiSportsCast

A great conversation with Shikha, @shixSays, giving us her take on the current world cup and her passion for cricket.

We talk to Ullas, part of the team @womensFootieIND, about the current state of the women's game in India.  A great eye opener to what is happening or rather not happening to raise the standards of the sport in India and how the headline news about the game in India does not give you the full picture.

DesiSportsCast was at Old Trafford for the game between India and West Indies.  Another recording made live at the ground taking in the atmosphere, speaking to both sets of fans and the legend that is Jaz B gives us some of his famous songs

In this episode we bring you interviews and views from supporters attending  the game versus Afghanistan at Southampton

Something different, Desi Sports was live at the India v Pakistan ICC World Cup game, where we recorded interviews with various fans as the game was being played.

This week Abhishek and Bharat are joined by a special guest to review at times a long, tiring but in the end quite a memorable IPL season.  we review the performance of all the teams, the final, the stand out performances and Abhishek has some very strong views on the standard of umpiring this season - do you agree let us know.
