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.

In this episode, we talk about Bazball.

Its merits, demerits ,and how it all came crashing down because of very little planning and even poor execution.

We also talk briefly about the Indian T20 squad for the upcoming T20 WC and what happened with the axing of Shubman Gill?

Richa, Aditya & MV are joined by Vatsal to discuss the humiliation in Guwahati and the first Ashes Test in Perth.
