The Three Cricketeers Podcast

4 months after our last podcast, 4 months after India lost to Australia in the world cup final, we are back to discuss the IPL because that is the only tournament where we can guarantee than an Indian Cricket Team will win a trophy. We briefly discuss the cursed final, the two test series that followed, the WPL, the African Games, before eventually spending an hour talking about the first week of India's biggest, well, thing, and end it with a game between Ishan and Parth, hosted by Naishal. We hope you enjoy and we hope to release consecutive weekly episodes, at least until the end of the T20 WC!

There is a lot of news to cover but we obviously do an excellent job at it. What else can you expect? Raza is a captain at 37, two players retired, Pandya's injury could be a blessing or a curse, we won't know till the semi final is done. Can India do it? I (Parth) personally think this is the greatest ODI team India has ever fielded and am finally at a stage of uber-confidence. Which is usually a bad thing, as Ishan points out. We also play a wonderful game hosted by Naishal and oh yes, of course, discuss the cricket world cup and how the matches have gone back to being one-sided. Let's hope it ends strong.

How long will this last? Who knows, who cares? Indian fans are on cloud nine right now. England and Pakistan are in the trenches. Afghanistan is a genuine semi-final contentder. Bangladesh beating them is probably the upset of the tournament. India is fielding possibly its greatest ODI 11 of all time. We react live to India mauling England, along with some news, a new Ishan quiz where he is more excited than the other two, and MORE predictions (Ishan and Parth and leading Naishal now!)

Before anything, let's all laugh at England. Netherlands continue to prove why Associate Cricket needs to be supported a LOT more than it currently is. Kohli scored a century which brought joy to some and anger to others. Is this enough for the summary? No? Okay well, Australia finally showed up and look good to reach the top 4 after their initial hiccups. Amongst all the upsets and individual performances, we have yet to see a truly close World Cup match, one that would justify the tournament's billing as the biggest in cricket. Hopefully India vs NZ does that, but we just want India to win tbh. The most exciting part of this episode though, is that Ishan and Naishal have a massive fight during a quiz (it isn't that serious). Stick around till the end to hear that!

A lot can happen in 4 days. From the last podcast, we have witnessed not one, but two captains getting injured for a majority of the tournament (though we forgot to mention Dasun). India vs Pakistan continued its trend of being an overhyped dud of an encounter, like it has been for several ODI world cups now. Oh and, England continues to make world cups interesting by losing to teams they should handily beat. Elsewhere, an international T20 match saw a score in excess of 400 with no sixes. Sir Alistair Cook retired after a stunning career. We go through all of this, our predictions for next week, and we bully Ishan over the quiz he made (we're not very good people). All while trying to speed through everything because one of us had technical difficulties and had to catch a flight. Listen if you must, enjoy if you can!

Week 1 was fun, right? Sure, there weren't any close, nail-biting matches, but we were witness to a bunch of special performances, including the South African team establishing its dominance, Sri Lanka's batsmen outshining their bowlers, India ticking most of the boxes, Pakistan not doing a Pakistan for once, and New Zealand being the understated dominators as expected. We discuss the matches from the first week, along with the latest cricketing news, our predictions for a few upcoming matches including India vs Pakistan, and a fun game at the end!

In the first episode of our podcast, The Three Cricketeers, we discuss the Cricket World Cup, 2023, that weirdly enough, began on a Thursday afternoon in an empty stadium (it filled up later). We go through our elation at England being thrashed, our predictions for India's first two matches, our overall predictions for the best players and teams during the cup, including a best 11, and a mini quiz at the end. This was long and exhausting, but future episodes would (hopefully) be shorter. Any and all feedback is appreciated as we are primarily doing this to talk about cricket and literally have no idea how to podcast.
