Credit to Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid for being honest

They were pretty upfront about wkts not being doctored or created to cater to India. Overall I found Beard Before Wicket to be one of the better video podcast. Moeen Ali's analysis is pretty good and I found him to be quite articulate and spot on. I can see him as an analyst in the future.
 

 

 

 

If you want the complete podcast, here's the link...

 

 

 

Another good one is when India beat Pakistan and you could see the host grudgingly accept the gap between the two teams :laugh:

Our fans are very very reactive to every thing that is put out there. Grade cricketer sometimes randomly add the line "Thala for a reason" mocking how  hero worshipping of INdians can be exploited to boost their views.  

 

 

Our median age is 29 (as a country). 

 

No different from English football fans btw.

Obviously every podcaster and YT channel will try to maximize their audience but I found this podcast much better with good discussion. They don't go overboard and in fact before the India-Pak match all three had predicted Pak to win :giggle:

 

They're not like Pak youtubers which do their randi-rona and beat their chests. They made valid points, had a good discussion and were on point most of the time.

Yea. from time to time they share some interesting anecdotes like Blewette shared an info about why Tendulkar used 3 lb bat.

It’s an off the field blokes XI, Shastri makes it to every such dude XI. Second name on my list after big Merve. I am surprised no one picked Imran Khan.

Being a Pakistani is a massive aura loss in today's world :giggle:

These guys are also good. Nice  account about sachin by Greg Blewett. Also bit about Bumrah.

 

 

 

Here they talked about 300 totals being inevitable on Indian grounds due to the smaller ground dimensions.

 

It annoys me when I think about the Na mo stadium where the focus was more on making it the biggest stadium with more number of  seats than increasing the ground dimensions.

 

They should not make the same mistakes with the newer stadiums atleast. For me T20 cricket is more enjoyable only in Aussie stadiums where the grounds are larger than everywhere else.

Adil Rashid once said he hasn't seen a more talented batter than Sachin & I knew there and then this guy knows his cricket...

 

But why do Indians care to watch this many reaction videos?  The goras are seething with our success in cricket and it will be worse once India starts to dominate global geopolitics, the level hatred would be unprecedented

Trent bridge , Taunton are very short. Only Australian and SL grounds can claim to be big.

Even in Srilanka, only premadasa is bigger. Other grounds are small everywhere.

Other day I actually checked Sanju samson sixes while watching highlights. Most of them were 90 meter sixes
