About this episode

AKMagic joins Mike and Jeff to discuss the rules and geopolitics of cricket ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup.

Discord Superstar AKMagic (follow him on Bluesky!) joins Mike and Jeff in the interim period between the Conference Championship Games and the Super Bowl to discuss… cricket! The ICC T20 World Cup (you’ll learn what all those words mean!) starts this week, and we thought it would be a little fun and different to get AKMagic to discuss the worldwide game. He runs us through the rules, tells us of the cricket equivalent of the 2025 Panthers, international cricket’s surprising origin, and he runs through some juicy international geopolitics heading into the World Cup. There are some references made in this episode to a couple of things: Cricket Field Cricket Pitch Cricket Wicket Setup Since we recorded this, Jeff watched a cricket match, and after listening check out Jasprit Bumrah putting the New Zealand team in hell. We will be back this weekend to discuss the Seahawks & Patriots Super Bowl! Enjoy! https://cdn.footballabsurdity.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/whatiscricket.mp3
