In this pod, we have Nishant, Richa, and MV to discuss the Ashes.

We discuss Noosa, the wad of cash, England's lengths, new ball bowling, Mark Wood's audacious plan to drive to Perth, the death of Bazball, and the continued excellence of the boring Aussies.

We then move to the WPL where we briefly discuss each team on the table and who are we buying, selling and holding.

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
