| 7/31/25 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 58: BazBall Turns Into BegBall | The one thing about BazBall is that it does not do boring. Even in a run-fest that turned into only the 2nd draw of Ben Stokes's captaincy, the man found a way to make the Test memorable.The handshake that wasn't stole all the headlines, with England pleading to go off on Day 5 after failing to take any wickets for 2 sessions, and Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar on the cusp of centuries. And thus BegBall was born, and a light was shone on the petulance lurking underneath the bombast of the McCullum-Stokes era. Yes, this is an episode full of ranting. We did also discuss the cricket. | — | ||||||
| 7/22/25 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 57: Lords Don't Slow Us Down (Please) | Where did it all go wrong? After an unexpected win at Edgbaston, where Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill and the rest of the Team India showed they've got the heart of a star to level the series at 1-1, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul forgot the importance of being idle and promptly handed England the opening they needed to get ahead at Lords. England did not let that opportunity slide away, and here we are, with India 2-1 down despite having been the better side for most of the first three Tests. One win, one loss in the past two Tests to review since the last episodes. Siddhant and Aditya aren't looking back in anger, however, because the way India have played, there might just be enough to keep the dream alive of a series win. | — | ||||||
| 7/2/25 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 56: Bazboozled | We went away for a short while, and an entire era changed. South Africa won a trophy, Australia LOST A FINAL, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired, Shubman Gill became Test captain, all in the time since we last recorded. Unfortunately, BazBollocks is still here. And still tripping up India occasionally. True to form we are back as soon as India's Test team is back in action, though not in time for the actual start of the England tour. Instead we review the topsy-turvy first Test and look ahead to the rest of the series...which we are not hopeful about. Join us in our cheery doom and gloom! | — | ||||||
| 1/26/25 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 55: Crashed Down Under | India's decade-long stranglehold on the most fiercely-contested trophy in Test cricket has finally come crashing down. And at the end of this long reign, we come to bury everyone, not to praise them. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah. And maybe Rishabh Pant. The last two Tests of the tour of Australia occasionally raised hope that India might still pull off an unlikely win, but reality hit harder than Rohit Sharma hit a ball all series. Rohit Sharma's mid-Test interview after dropping himself hit harder than he hit a ball all series. And, quite frankly, that interview didn't hit that hard. At the very least, nowhere near as hard as the edge of Virat Kohli's bat hit the ball outside off-stump time and again this series. The jokes write themselves, and we get through a few of them while recapping the Melbourne and Sydney Tests. Plus, we finally have an ending to the entertaining saga of the Champions Trophy, and even more reason for Sid to hate on Bangladesh. Here's Episode 55! | — | ||||||
| 12/25/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 54: Thank the Gods for Rain, Ashwin, and Bumrah | There was no repeat of the last miracle at the Gabba, but India not losing that Test might be its own version of a miracle, helped by the rain gods and a rollicking innings from "bowling all-rounder" Akash Deep. Given the state of India's batting, he might get a promotion to bat in the top 7 at this rate. The Test ended up being more notable for what happened off the pitch, with one of India's greatest-ever cricketers bidding farewell to international cricket. We pay tribute to Ashwin, and look ahead to the rest of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. | — | ||||||
| 12/12/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 53: Day-Night Debacle, Awards Galore, and...Sex Tapes? | India had another nightmare pink-ball Test, but it included a moment that is our podcast's raison d'être: a wicket off a no ball. The past week was a banner week for those, which made for an awards section we were eager to get to...but not before we asked the real, tough question, the kind that we've become famous for: does KL Rahul have a Jay Shah sex tape in his possession? That, somehow, wasn't the only sex tape mentioned in this episode. Who knew cricket was such a...fertile breeding ground? | — | ||||||
| 12/4/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 52: The BCCIA and TOOTH-E | Just how powerful are the BCCI and Jay Shah? That question was important enough to ask even when we had a magnificent India win to review. Would you put it past the new ICC president to engage in some destabilizing of Pakistan that had nothing to do with cricket just to come up with a less controversial reason to move the Champions Trophy out of the PCB's home base? Oh, and there was that Test win. We talked a bit about that, but it can really be boiled down to this: Jasprit Bumrah is a genius. Also, this entire episode features a silent but pretty cool guest: a dental assistant robot, dubbed TOOTH-E, fresh off of helping Sid do wild stuff in Aditya's mouth. No, it doesn't do cricket analysis, but it's part of the NBC family now. | — | ||||||
| 11/21/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 51: The Return | We're BACK (again)! We could make some overwrought metaphor about how we gritted it out to get to 50 and then retired hurt, but are now back to complete the innings. We *could*. But we won't. Instead we'll just say we're here to laugh at everyone, as always, from our favorite targets like England, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, to new punching bags like Gautam Gambhir. All that, just in time for what could be a shocking BGT. Here's Episode 51! | — | ||||||
| 3/24/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 50: A Half-Century of No Balls | Our esteemed podcast has managed to do something Jonny Bairstow wasn't able to do during England's tour of India: get to 50. In a series full of milestones – including a 100th Test for Jonny himself, along with Stokes and Ashwin – we've brought up this special one of our own. So we paid homage (to ourselves) in a few different ways: taking a trip down memory lane, and even bringing out an OG pod member from before our video days. And as a bonus, the cricket gave us enough reason to celebrate, and engage in one of our favorite pasttimes yet again, twisting the knife into England as BazBollocks was sent home packing. | — | ||||||
| 3/7/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 49: BazBollocks Capitulation and Ranji Madness | England nearly had it. Everything they wanted. A vindication that their stupid marketing gimmick is actually good cricket (even though they only got to this point by dropping the gimmick to play actual good cricket). And then the real England, the one we all know and love and love to make fun of, turned up. And if you think England's cricket is mad, wait until you hear what happens in the Ranji Trophy. | — | ||||||

| 2/22/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 48: A Moral Loss for BazBollocks? | If you suffer your worst defeat on the pitch in 90 years, is there any way you can still claim moral victory? According to us, there isn't, but we think somehow England could still manage it even after a 434-run loss. Thanks to the magnitude of India's victory, and some interesting decisions from the BazBollocks strategy brain trust, we had a lot to talk about on this one, so a bit of a longer episode than usual. We just love sticking the knife into England when we get the chance. | — | ||||||
| 2/16/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 47: BazBollocks 1, JaisWallops 1 | India get back in the series thanks to an outstanding innings from Yashasvi Jaiswal...and are England getting high on their own supply? Also, because we don't know how to stick to cricket on this cricket pod, there's an excellent discussion about climate change and geography – and by excellent discussion, we mean a brief mention that allows some potshots to be taken at familiar targets. | — | ||||||
| 2/4/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 46: BazBollocks Has Arrived | So about those 5-0 and 4-0 predictions from our podcast... We look back on a wild first Test and how exactly England pulled off the "Heist of Hyderabad". How do India turn things around? Meanwhile, West Indies pulled off a heist of their own in Australia and we have more updates from the life of Shoaib Malik. | — | ||||||
| 2/4/24 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 45: BazBollocks Comes To India | We're back! With perfect timing. After a winter break for us where a lot of cricket happened (and we aren't even talking about the IPL and WPL auctions). Meanwhile, England are bringing their "BazBollocks" marketing gimmick to India. And we have some sad news about India's favorite Pakistani, who may no longer hold that title. | — | ||||||
| 12/11/23 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 44: Tails Between Our Legs | We put it off for as long as we could, but finally, here we are, sucking it up and dealing with our loss. By which we mean, of course, India's loss at the men's ODI World Cup final. What happened, who can we yell at for it (BCCI), and where do we go from here? In the middle of all that, of course, cricket never stops, so we take a look at what's next for India and everyone else. | — | ||||||
| 11/19/23 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 43: Don't Choke | Working against a deadline trying to get an episode in before the World Cup final puts a lot of pressure on us. Thankfully we didn't choke. Unlike... Maybe let's not go there, and just leave it at enjoying the fact that we got two high-quality semifinals and now it's time for the ultimate heavyweight matchup in the final: India vs Australia. (Don't worry, we went there in the episode.) | — | ||||||
| 11/14/23 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 42: A Crispy Preview | It's time to preview the semifinals. India get a chance to stare down the demons of 2019 and New Zealand, and South Africa have semifinal ghosts of their own to exorcise against Australia. We're in crunch time at the World Cup...or should that be crispy time, Ramiz Raja? | — | ||||||
| 11/9/23 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered Episode 41: Timed Out and the Big Show | After a ho-hum first half of the group stage, the World Cup has really kicked off over the last week. Our favorite rivalry just had its biggest controversy that has Siddhant potentially causing geopolitical incidents, and even that got overshadowed, by arguably the greatest innings in men's ODI history. And amidst all that, India are humming along, giving us great joy thanks to a certain bet-winning innings. | — | ||||||
| 11/3/23 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Ep 40 – Pakistan this, England that, Bangladesh whatever | Having come back after a long time, we've decided that we need to freshen this podcast up by doing something we didn't know we're capable of: sounding smart. So this pod has Siddhant busting out stats, Aditya talking about "process-based analysis", and...a lot of shit-talking about the teams we like talking shit about, still, because we can't not do that. But we did smart analysis too. We think. We'll let you decide. | — | ||||||
| 10/26/23 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Episode 39 | WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! After a long hiatus as we moved around in the world, we finally figured out how to do a long-distance pod. Just in time for the men's ODI World Cup. Sort of. Anyway, your favorite duo, Siddhant Pradhan aka the club cricketer and Aditya Devavrat aka the respected journalist, is here to make fun of England and Pakistan (and maybe look at the rest of the World Cup after the first two weeks). Welcome back to the madness! | — | ||||||
| 4/28/22 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Episode 38 | This may or may not be the last episode of No Balls Cricket. Are we being dramatic and dumb? Would anyone listening to us think we're capable of such behavior? (Don't answer that.) What exactly we mean by that, is revealed in the episode, where we also discuss Sid's cricket "escapades", Ashwin's latest tactical controversy, and of course, more of our favorite pastime...dunking on England cricket.

| 4/7/22 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Episode 37 | Cricket had its own version of March Madness last month, with three Test series going on simultaneously and the month culminating in the Women's World Cup. We'll review that thrilling tournament in a special episode, but for now we're focusing on the Test cricket that we saw, or didn't see, given how some of it put us to sleep. Can you blame us? India were dominant against Sri Lanka as one would expect, and the first two Tests both in the West Indies and in Pakistan were absolute snooze fests for the most part. The third Tests were where all the action was, as England did England things in the West Indies, and Australia gave us a special performance in Pakistan that also produced memes galore. Here's our review of all three series, along with a special tribute to the beloved Shane Warne.

| 3/8/22 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Episode 36 | We mentioned last time that, in true No Balls Cricket fashion, we were releasing a preview episode just in time for the start of a tournament or series. Well, hold that thought. We may have gotten the Women's World Cup preview out ahead of the tournament starting (or rather, on the day it started, and after the first match had begun), but we have outdone ourselves with the next one: our preview of the three men's Test series going on across the world simultaneously. With the first Test over in two of those series. In fairness, it's not entirely our fault. Some blame lies with Sri Lanka, too. If they had put up a better fight in the first Test against India, this episode would be going out at the end of the match, rather than two days after it had already ended. Maybe India need to follow the lead of their neighbors, as Pakistan prepared an absolute road for the first Test against Australia, making sure it lasts all five days. (Getting a result, seemingly not as important.) At least the West Indies vs England series hasn't started yet. (It's about six hours away at the time this episode's releasing.) Anyway, without further ado, here's our preview of all three series as we look forward to an exciting month for Test cricket.

| 3/4/22 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Women's World Cup Preview | In true No Balls Cricket fashion, we have yet again cut it fine with a series or tournament preview. Two, in fact, as we've also got a preview for the three Test series that are going on in the world at just about the same time, which is going to be up in a day or two...after two of those Tests have started. In the meantime, we've got a special episode to preview the women's World Cup (which actually began this morning). Australia are the clear favorites for the trophy, but that was true in 2017 as well, until Harmanpreet Kaur happened. So while we're in awe of how stacked that side is, there are plenty of candidates to pull off the upset, and we run through them all. Speaking of Harmanpreet Kaur, India have had a tough go of it in ODI cricket in the covid era, as has she herself. And of course, they're not helped by BCCI being an utter sham of a cricket board when it comes to supporting women's cricket. So, you guessed it...it's time to rant!

| 2/24/22 | ![]() No Balls Cricket Unfiltered: Episode 35 | For those of you who are regular listeners, you know we have a long-standing joke about being "respected" journalists. Aditya has worked in sports content for most of his career, which has included some journalistic work, and Sid...well, Sid is a dentist/surgeon but recently interviewed a cricketing legend, so we'll give him his due there. It's clear how much we love this particular running gag. So imagine our delight when our exact phrasing – "respected" journalist, with the respected part meant completely sarcastically – found its way into the tweet of an international cricketer. See for yourself: https://twitter.com/Wriddhipops/status/1495076230713917441 We would like to extend an invite to Wriddhiman Saha to join us on the podcast whenever he feels like it and deems us worthy of interviewing him. In the meantime, in our latest episode, Sid and Aditya have much to say about cricket media in India, not to mention summing up all the cricketing action from around the world – including a few incidents that have done our pod name proud.
