We try to address the continued hijacking of ICC events by BCCI (and the BJP), how cricket as a sport only serves interests of the Indian nationalistic idea, and against the interests of the sport.

In this episode, MV is joined by Richa and Dave to preview the WPL 2026. We break down the teams, talk about the new money flowing into the game, thank Jay bhai, and decide which food item best represents each franchise. There’s also a bold call on why DC could finish last, a completely unnecessary but entertaining detour on whether Meg Lanning will run onto the field to hug Sophie Ecclestone, and an attempt to explain why MI just keep getting everything right.

The order of Previews -

1. UPW
2. RCB
3. GG
4. MI
5. DC

We end with a fun quiz because why not?

Who is most likely to

1. Break their bat smashing something?
2. Have a really funny reel?
3. Break a stump?
4. Hit 5 sixes in an over?
5. Yell at the umpire?
6. Yell at their teammates?
7. Yell at the opposition player?
8. Take an awesome boundary catch?

In this episode, regular listeners Shay, Fahad and Smarts record about their first time at the stadium watching a Cricket match.

We compare iconic Indian venues like MA Chidambaram Stadium, Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, and Wankhede Stadium, and contrast them with international experiences at Lord's Cricket Ground.

The conversation revolves around stadium access, ticketing challenges, hygiene and security issues, crowd behaviour, and how these factors impact families and first-time fans.

We also relive unforgettable moments like watching legends live, standing ovations, and dream destinations such as a Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A look at why cricket isn’t just about what happens on the field, but everything that happens getting to the stadium for the average fan.
