The One with All the Upsets

The Cricket Slouch

For those following global cricket this year, you’d have noticed the number of “upsets” we have seen at the T20 World Cup and a few others outside the global tournaments. This led me to think about what some of these upsets would mean for the respective teams and the legacy they would lead to. So I got round to talking with Shounak and Sandeep about this and we went down nostalgia lane to recall some of the more memorable wins by unfancied teams in modern cricketing history and what mark they left on us personally and in cricket in general. And in doing so, we may end up upsetting a few people or re-open old wounds, but that is not our intention. Please have a support person with you if some of these memories causes distress. And ohh, we also talk about a potential new format for the World Cups so as to protect certain teams.Links to a book and YouTube video mentioned in the episode as below -Video link for Netherlands beating Australia in 1964.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKzfnkXBuzkAnd the book mentioned is -Evita burned down our Pavilion : A Cricket Odyssey through Latin America by Timothy Abraham and James Coyne.It is available on Kindle and via Amazon at this stage. https://www.amazon.com.au/Evita-Burned-Down-Our-Pavilion-ebook/dp/B07TXNM2VS/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1671358944&sr=8-1As usual, credit to Noman and Umangi for the cover art for the podcast.
