  Speaker 2: have written us a cricket episode. So first tell us
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit about yourself and then tell us a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: little bit about your life of cricket. Why don't you so?
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm Mahadevan and I am originally from India,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: all the way in the south. It's a what in
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: India we would call a little city called Trivandrum. We
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: have a population of only about five hundred thousands so,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: which is pretty small by Indian standards. Like, yeah, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: was there for quite a long time till I went
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: off to college. And I was playing cricket from a
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: pretty young age seven eight years old, i think, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: we just played wherever we could. But it was not
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: as popular and I was growing up in Trivandrum. The
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: more popular sport was football. The problem with cricket the
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: way we saw it, you know, it's most of the
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: time you spent around just standing around doing nothing much,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: waiting for somebody to hit the BA.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Football had a lot more.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: When I say football, I'm in soccer because I remember
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: way back when it first come to the US and
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I was in a team meeting and we had like
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: an icebreaker going on, and people said, Okay, tell us
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: something about yourself, and tell us what's your favorite sport.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: And I said, my favorite sport is football.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: And I'm five seven and maybe one hundred and forty
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: pounds right, and they're all looking at me and like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: you don't look like a football player to us. But yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I've been playing cricket for you for a long time.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I've been watching it for a long time too, So
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I remember when we got TV for the first time
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: where I live. I think it's eighty two eighty three,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the first time we had cricket on TV. It was
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: so exciting because you knew these players, you had seen
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: the pictures in the newspapers and all that. To see
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: them actually in a play that is that's kind of
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: quite cool to be able to do that. Yeah, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: don't play much, well, I don't play at all anymore,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: but there is a lot of cricket still going on
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: in the US. A lot of my buds play weekend cricket.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I haven't.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I haven't done it in a while while now.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: It's definitely in the last twenty audios, it's become way
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: more popular in India than it used to be. Like
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: every nook and corner of India you see kids playing
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: cricket in some form or the other. It's it's it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: become very big. Yeah, it's a huge money generator. You know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: all the cricket stars are like all over then endorsing
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: all manner of things in commercials and whatnot.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a huge deal India, India and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: cricket very cool.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And what position do you play when you when you do?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, when I used to play, I used to be
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: what they call us a bowler.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Oh really, it's.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Kind of like a pitcher in baseball.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I bowled medium paces what they called it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: So you got like different categories of bowlers in cricket.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: You've got the guys who are really fast, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: take a long run up and come in. And you
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: got the spin bowlers now who take real short run ups.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: And then you got in between guys the medium pieces
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: just kind of fit in back when I did used
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: to play.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I have a question, and I'll try not
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to ask too many of these as we before we
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: actually get into the questions and stuff. But when you're bowling,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: is it better to try and really throw as hard
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and fast as you can like in baseball? You know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: let's say, if you're trying to do fastball or do
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you have different types of bowls that you pitch?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. So cricket has got two
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: main categories of bowling. So you got the fast bowlers
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and they run in, they take a long run up,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: they run in and they fling the ball as hard
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: as they can. And there are the other category, it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: called spin bowlers, and they take you know, little short
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: run ups, couple of steps, a couple of three steps,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: and they kind of toss the ball up in a
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: way that after it hits the ground it turns.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: You know, the ball moves one way or the other.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So you got two distinct categories.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And when you're bowling, is the object to hit the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: wicket or is it to just avoid the batsmen hitting
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the ball?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, So it's that's pretty complicated because the primary objective,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: you could say, is to hit the wicked, which is
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: those three vertical things behind the batsmen the stumps, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you also try to get the batsman to what we
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: call heedge the ball, like he can't hit it properly,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: but the ball goes off the bat and you got
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: you know, fielders quite close to the batter, they can
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: catch it. So you tried to get him out that way.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: And there's also a kind of out he hits the
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: batsmen or I think they're called batters, if you hit
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: the batter on the leg and they can make a
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: determination and say that if his leg hadn't been there,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: it would have hit the wicket.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Ah, so they give it out. They call it leg.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Before interesting, okay.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: And then sometimes you try to get Tim to hit
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: it up in the air like a pop fly. Yes, yeah, yeah,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: so Waller has different ways of trying to get get
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the bat up.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Cool. I mean, this is all just completely new to me,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and you know, you can even watch it and still
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: just be like, well, this is fun, but I have
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: no idea what's going on. So yeah, it's just really interesting.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: But before we get too long in the tooth with
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: talking about everything I don't know, let's let's just go
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: on and get into the trivia. So this is gonna
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: work pretty much like a regular episode where we have
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: four rounds, four questions each. There's a bang bang in
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the middle where we'll have multiple answers, and at the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: end we're gonna do a regular big bang. So it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: just like a regular episode.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Sure, it's all exciting for me, though it might be
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: regular for you.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna start us out with round one. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: here we go. Question one, what legal term is also
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: used for the two little wooden sticks that sit on
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: top of the vertical stumps that make up the wicket?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Question two? The six Caribbean Cricket Associations of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: collectively play international cricket under what name? Question three? What
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: honor was Frank Warrel, a Barbadian who played for the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: West Indies mostly in the fifties, the first to receive
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty four. Question four? Which country's cricket team
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: is named the Proteus? And now the answers to round one?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Question one? What's the legal term that's used for the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: two little wooden sticks that sit on top of the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: vertical stumps that make up a wicket bail? So onen
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: can back me up on this a little bit, but
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: a wicket means many things. One meaning is the structure
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: behind the batter that they have to protect and the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: bowler tries to knock down. What else can it mean.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: On So, a wicket is also another name for the
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: playing surface.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Some people call it the pitch.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Which is basically the area between the two wickets on
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: either end, so it's called the pitch or sometimes it's
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: called a wicket. And another meaning for a wicket is
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: what you would call an out in baseball. So when
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: a batsman gets out, you say a wicket has fallen.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Oh so cricket innings, so it's always plural, it's innings.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Even one is an innings.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: It's usually ten wickets, so you have to have ten outs.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: So that's another usage for the word wickets.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: So the wickets, the three, the three stumps behind the batsmen,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: all the playing surface.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Are wow okay, all right? Question two. The six Caribbean
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: cricket associations of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad, Tobago,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Windward Islands play collectively under what name that is the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: West Indies.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: How many groupings like that are there.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: That's the only one.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: All the other cricket playing nations are individual countries. Okay.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: West Indies is the only one where you got multiple
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: countries playing under a common name. I don't want to
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: say flag because they all have their own.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. How many players are on a team eleven, so
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you get a couple from each of those.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it's all very political, like you know how
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: they pick, Like even within India, it gets quite political,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: like from which state some player comes, you know, this
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: state doesn't have representation on the team and things like that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Countries are involved, it gets quite icy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, wow, boy, cricket politics any.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the only reason I'm not super
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: surprised is because I do follow soccer a little and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like FIFA is just a disaster, and so I'm not
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: surprised to find that, like it would get political and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: other sports as well, especially if it's global.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Question three. What honor was Frank Warrel, a Barbadian
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: who played for the West Indies mostly in the fifties.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: The first to receive in nineteen sixty four were he
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: became the first Caribbean to be knighted for his services
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to cricket, So that's interesting, what uh what else was
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: going on with that onnand.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: The countries of the West Indies, they're all most of
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: them still have the queen as the head of state,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: like Canada is not still a dominion.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I think that's the term is and they call them Dominians.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so those cricketers and Australia and New Zealand,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: they are all eligible for knighthoods and you know, in
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: England they still hand those things. That's very funny because
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the official designation I think is kb E, so it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: a night Commander of the British Empire.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm like, what empire. There ain't no empire.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We kicked you guys out. Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: So they give these knighthoods to you know, players, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: in England and Australia and the West Indies. So Frank
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Quarrel was the first West Indian to get one for cricket.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: And somebody might argue saying that Leary Constantine, another West Indian,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: did receive a knighthood earlier, but his was even though
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: he was a cricket his knighthood was not for cricket.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: He did other things than cricket.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So that's what they gave him, the nightrood for gotcha. Huh.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Interesting question for which country's cricket team is named the Proteus,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that would be South Africa. The protea is a flowering
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: plant native to that country. They were called the spring Box,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: just like their rugby team, I think, but changed their name,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: as did most South African national teams except rugby, which
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: is still called Springbox. I'm my own worst in me
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: have it in the notes. But anyway, so does every
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: team then have a nickname like that?
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Not really, I think the some of them have assumed
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: nicknames of late. The Indian cricket team, I think they
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: just we just call ourselves the men in Blue because
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: when we do play with colored uniforms, it's it's we
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: have a blue uniform and we're not the only ones
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: who wear blue.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: So I don't know how. I think the Banglades.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Team is called the Tigers, and they call themselves the
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Tigers Quick Sidelights.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So bangladeshues used to have maybe they still do.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: They had like a domestic cricket competition and one of
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: the teams was called the chittergol Vikings and they even
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: had like a Viking helpmet logo.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Twenty the dates go to banglad.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: That's great, amazing, all right on, and you want to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: pick us up with round two? There, all right?
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Round two? Question five?
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Which family of four brothers all played cricket for the
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: national team, though the most that played at any given
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: time was three?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Question six?
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: In Test cricket, what is the significance of the number
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: ninety nine point nine four?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Question seven?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: One of the first questions asked by this great man
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: on being released from prison after twenty seven years was
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: is Sir Donald Bradman still alive?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Who was he? In question eight? It's kind of a
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: long question, so just bear with me here.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: When Australia first beat England in one of the earliest
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: international contests in eighteen eighty two, the frustrated English supporters
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: burnt the bails and stored them in an earn. A
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: replica of this earn is awarded to the winning team
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: whenever these two countries played Test cricket. What is the
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: name given to the biennial series of Test cricket matches
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: played between these two sites?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: And are we ready for the answers?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yes? Please?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Answers to round two? Question five? What family of four
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: brothers or pet cricket for the national team, that would
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: be the Muhammad brothers of Pakistan.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Wazir, Hanif, Mushtak.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: And Sadik Muhammad all play cricket at various times for Pakistan.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: And Test cricket.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: What's the significance of the number ninety nine ninety four?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: It was the batting average of Sir Donald Bradman, the
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Great Australian. And what makes it so monumental is how
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: much higher it is than the next number on the list.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: In fact, the next four numbers of cricket batting averages
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: are all at.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Least forty runs below. This quick sidelight here.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: So I know, the term run is used in cricket
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: and baseball, and they're both scoring units, right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: But they're like entirely different things.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: So one of the first things that you know when
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: baseball fans here of in cricket is like somebody scored
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty runs, Like you know, average baseball
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: game is like three or something, right, So it's it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: just confusing.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, the the fact it's kind of like points, right,
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: So if you take a basketball game, right, they measure
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: they counted in points, right, and so the winning team
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: is one hundred to or ninety eight and football, American
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: football uses points as well, right, and a minni margin.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: They're like, you know, like you had a question earlier,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I' just the most common score in the NFL.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, twenty to.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Seventeen and ironically that same week and there were three
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: games that ended in twenty to seven.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: But anyway, so so so somebody who knows only football
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and he's used to scores like twenty to seventeen points
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and then he looks at a basketball game and it's
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: just one.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Hundred points, and what kind of a game is that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: It's the same same thing with cricket, so even though
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: it's called runs, it just doesn't really relate to one another.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And was he just phenomenal? Like was he just
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: so good or did he have also a long career
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: he's just.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Or just main just it was just extraordinary what he did.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: It's I don't know if I can draw an analogy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like, if you know, Barry Bonds finished
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: his baseball career averaging four hundred four twenty or something
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: like that, because the next highest is worth three sixty five.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's not three fifty six or under that
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: three hundred. It's really good. Yeah, it's big.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: So it's just a huge, huge margin of difference.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: What time frame was he playing, So he was.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: His kender actually paralleled Babe Ruts for a while there.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: He was playing in the late twenties, early thirties. Then
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you know his career got interrupted by the war there
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: thirty nine to forty five.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: He played a little bit after the war.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Too interesting.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I and the question seven, The first question asked
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: by this man on being released from prison, is Sir
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Donald Bradman still alive?
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Who was he?
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: And the answer is Nelson Mandela. So that's the first
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: thing he wanted to know. Twenty seven years he's been
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: loved up.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: On Robert Island, right, he comes out and he's not like.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: How is my wife, my kids? Donald Bradman still but
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: you know I'm exagged. Yeah, I mean it's just Bradman
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: was so good.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Wow, it's just unbelievably good that that's what he wanted
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: to know. Question A, the really long question about you know,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: burning the bails and putting them in an earn and
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: giving a replica of the earn to.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: The winning team. What is this What is the name
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: given to the biennial.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Series of Test cricket, And it's called the Ashes, so
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: it's the Ashes of the Bail. So between England and
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Australia every two years they play a series of typically
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: five five Tests, and they called the Test Series of
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the Ashes.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: And can make another quick side, okay, okay.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: So one of the confusing things about cricket is like
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: there are three forms of the game. You remember the
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: other day when you had the gentleman who's on rugby
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: and he was talking about rugby league and rugby union
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: and he might even have mentioned rugby sevens.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you, but.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, true, rugby official orders they don't approve of rugby service.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: But cricket has got the primary contestant. Cricket used to
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: be for the longest time, what they called Test cricket,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: which is the one that Americans like to make fun
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: of because it lasts for five days.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: You have t breaks and all these funky things going on. Yeah.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: So the early seventies they started a new variation of
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: the game and they called them ODIs for One Day Internationals,
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: So that was a shorter form of the game that
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: lasted for just for a day.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: And then about.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Ten years back, twelve years back, they started a third
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: variation of cricket and they called it T twenty or
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty and this was much much shorter and a
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: companyte game would be finished in just under three hours.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: And the way they limited it was basically they said, okay,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: each team gets twenty overs and over. In cricket is
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: it's a term for six pitches of six balls, six deliveries,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: is and over. So it's basically like saying, okay, you
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: got a baseball game and it's just one hundred and
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: twenty pitches. This team has faced one hundred pitches, you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: whether it is fouls or strikes or whatever, that's it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: So you got three kids, You've got test matches five days,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: ODIs one day, and the T twenties which is three hours.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: And just this morning they they wrapped up the T
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: twenty World Cup in Australia, which England won over Pakistan. Oh,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: it s would have been a bigger deal because India
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: was in the semi finals and there's this mouthwatering prospect
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: of India playing Pakistan in the finals and.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: That's big in cricket.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but India last in the semi finals to England
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: who played Pakistan.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: This boom boom.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And the the ashes is also the little trophy they
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: get on the end, right, that's like because it's the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: burning of the ashes, so it makes sense that the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: trophy is tiny, but it's I don't know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I would think they'd have a few more ashes than.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: It's the cutest trophy in sports.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think they should set the ashes next
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: to the Stanley Cup.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have to burn a lot of bales for
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: that one. What would you compare the size of it
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: to Annie, I want to say egg cup, but I
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: think it's even smaller than an egg cup, honestly.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's like too many figures standing on top
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of each other.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: There you go, two little lego hats. Cool. Uh, well,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that's it for the first half. If that means it's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: time for the Bang Bang round and he's gonna read
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: us our bang bang round question and on and you
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: can give the answer.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: When the time's up, you will have thirty seconds to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: answer the following question. While there are three forms of cricket,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the term Cricket World Cup refers to the one day
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: international version of the game. Held every four years. Name
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the six countries that have won the Men's ICC World Cup.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Your time starts now.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: And that's time.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: So the question was, while there are three forms of cricket,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: the term Cricket World Cup refers to the one day international.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Version of the game. And we wanted their names.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Of the six countries that have won the Men's ICIC
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: World Cup and the six countries that have won the
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Cricket World Cup. West Indies they want it twice, India
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: who won it twice, Australia who won it five times, Pakistan,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Sri Lanka and most recently England.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: So Australia needs to tone it down. So yeah, let
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: if somebody else have a chance.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: And I threw the term I see CEE in there,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Maybe I should have clarified it earlier, say, I see
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: CEE is International Cricket Council, So it's the governing body
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: for world cricket, like fiefis for SOCUSIFA.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know, No, that makes sense, makes sense.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop taking the cricket episode to be my
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like FIFAI.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to round three. Question nine.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: What fruity term is sometimes used to describe a ball
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: or delivery in cricket that is unplayable and often will
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: result in a wicket? Question ten? A national club tournament
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: in cricket recently became the second highest valued tournament across
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: all sports, behind only the NFL and ahead of even
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the EPL in terms of per match value and media rights?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Can you clarify EPL for me?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Ah? That is the English League?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Gotcha? Thank you? Which national club is it? Question eleven?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Which country holds the record for the most ICC tournament
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: wins in both men's and women's versions? Question twelve? What
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: term is used to describe a batter's accomplishment of scoring
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: one hundred runs in a single innings? And now the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: answer to round three? Question nine? What fruity term is
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: sometimes used to describe a ball or delivery in cricket
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that is unplayable, often resulting in a wicket? That the
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: fruity term is jaffa, like the jaffa cakesoo.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: That's a kind of otne ja jaffa orange.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, And you say the origin is unclear on
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that one?
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Huh, Yeah, we don't know.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Question ten, what's the national club tournament in cricket that
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: recently became the second highest value tournament across all sports,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the IPL or Indian Premier League. So it was good
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of you to point out EPL. That might have given
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: folks a little bit of a clue.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not an.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: English Premier League, the Indian Premier League.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: So you were saying, the popularity of cricket's been really
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: taking off in India. So this, I guess is kind
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of a result of that.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: So the thing is, up until the evolution of this
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: third form of cricket called T twenty, cricket is primarily
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: between countries, like the most popular version cricket is primarily
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: between countries. You know, it's Nations against nations, right, and
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: rugby for the most part. You know, rugby union especially
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: used to be a lot more between countries, right. So
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: cricket didn't really have the concept of club level. Franchise
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: level cricket wasn't really very popular. And when T twenty
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: came along and you had this gain that to trap
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: up in three hours, it led to an explosion in
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: franchise cricket, club level cricket. So now in India we
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: have you know, teams in each each of the big cities.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: We've got a team in in Chennai, or we've got
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: a team in in Kolkata or all these big, big cities.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: They have their own teams and now you have a
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: sort of following for cricket like you have for NFL
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: teams or you know, the Premier League teams sees the
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: people who live in that city. You know, they start
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: routing for the local city team in the club. What
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: are the funny funny stories about that? Is the team
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: from Mumbai. You know what used to be Bomber, which
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: is not Mumbai. It's called the Mumbai Indians.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And we just think it, I mean.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Against them, are like.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I mean football has the Houston Texans.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Come on, guys, so the ils TV rights, I mean
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: it's it's enormously popular.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: So they get a lot of money and they.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Have adopted a lot of practices from other professional sports.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: You know, the players are traded and you pay what
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: and you know things like that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: So they've got waivers and whatnot.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Do Yeah, Question eleven, which country holds the record for
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the most ICC tournament wins in both men's and women's versions. Well,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: if you took a clue from the Bang Bang Round,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: that would have helped you. It's Australia. The men have
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: won eight ICC Trophies and the women have won and
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: astonishing twelve Wow, out of a possible nineteen.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Oh geez, they are dominating.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: There are question twelve. What term is used to describe
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: a batter's accomplishment of scoring one hundred runs in a
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: single innings? That would be a century. They also use
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the term ton. What's what's that one about?
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Well, a ton is one hundred kilos, so it's just
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: just a hundred.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Ye.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: See we are at a disadvantage because when we hear ton,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: we think two thousand pounds.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: You're like, why would they say this? This makes those sense?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: They have one thousand, nine hundred more.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Is that a Is that a rarity?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: No?
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Not clearly. Yeah, it's I can't think of an analogy
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to some other sport. Maybe like scoring a.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Hat trick in soccer, maybe it's more common than then
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: we get a hundred in cricket.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: So Bradman almost averaged.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: That's the amazing thing, and that's the amazing thing.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: So they they So when Bradman came out to play
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: for the very last time, if he had scored just
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: four runs, which is a trivial, trivial amount. He could
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: have retired with a career average of one hundred. Wow,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: but he was out for a zero.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Oh so that's too bad.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know amongst you know, like serious cricket fans.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: That's an interesting bit of trivia. Is you know who
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: was the bowler who got Batsman out Brackman out for
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: a zero cass contender with that average. I think his
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: name was Eric Hollies. I could be wrong, but I
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: think it was Eric holly.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Is that guy hated or revered for that?
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: No, they don't hold it against any Australian still, But
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: because it's ninety nine point ninety four, I think it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: kind of more distinctive.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Than a round hundred round four. Question thirteen. It seems
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: a niche sport.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: The International Cricket Council, the ICC, boasts a fairly large
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: membership within ten How many countries are part of the ICC?
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Question fourteen? In cricket, only one fielding player wears gloves
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: as they crows to field near the batter. What's the
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: name for this position? Questern fifteen?
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Typically?
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: What color is a cricket board used in international cricket.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Question sixteen, What do you call an official in a
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: cricket match? And how many are present on the field
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: during play? And answers to round four question thirteen. Though
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: cricket seems a niche sport. How many countries within ten?
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: How many countries are a part of the ICC. The
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: ICC has one hundred and six member countries. Twelve have
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the highest rating of Test status.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: It's funny when you know you live somewhere where it's
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: not a big deal, and then you get reminded of
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: what a big deal it is.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and to think how few teams have gotten the
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: highest leveer.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you share a little Australia.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: The most recent country to get that highest rating of
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Test status was Afghanistan.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: And one of the strange things that happened after the
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: you know, the US withdrawal and the Taliban and all that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: So one of the requirements to maintain the tests status
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: is that you should have an active women's cricket program
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: in the country. But obviously after the Taliban took over,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: there are no active women's programs in anything. So there
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: is still ongoing taught that they might lose that, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: the test status if they can't bring up the women's
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: cricket program again. So now you hear about talibin and
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: all kinds of impact that it's got, all this little
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: ancillary you know, small impacts that you don't ever hear about.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: You don't think about that. And then wouldn't it be
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: wonderful if cricket did make like a positive impact on
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan and women's rights, like that'd be awesome?
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: That question fourteen? Who is the only fielding position the
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: player where? The player where has gloves? And it's the
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: wicket keeper. So the wicket keeper crouches right behind the
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: stumps on the on the batsman's end, and he is
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: fully protected. He's got pads and often wears the helmet
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: and gloves and everything.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: So equivalent to a catcher's.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But the difference is the catcher is always right
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: behind the batter and the weeked keeper is often quite.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: A way back. So when he's when it's a.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Fast baller player, you know, bowling, the wiket keeper is
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: quite a few yards behind. But it's when the spin
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: bowler that he comes really.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Close to the I don't know if you know this,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: but do you know the difference is speed, like a
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: fastball in baseball versus a fastball in cricket.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so the big difference is, I mean, at the
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: fastest bowlers in cricket get get wet up there. They
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: bowl into the nineties and all that. But you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: the ball does hit the ground for the most part
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: before it reaches the batter, so that does take away
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: you know, quite better than the point of delivery might be,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: you know, ninety five miles an hour or whatever. But
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: you know, cricket is still mostly metrics one hundred and
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: fifty two kilometers now, okay, but they can they can
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: make the ball do funky things after it hits the pitch.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't just go straight, it moves around
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: So that's fur they're back, probably because to give them
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: more of a chance to get it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And the cricket batters, you know.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: They get hurt too.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I mean if they get hit on the head, even
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: after it hits on the bounces on the ground.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: So they didn't used to wear helmets still about the
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: mid seventies, and there are quite a few of them
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: who got seriously hurt.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: So now they wear helmets on a regular basis.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: That seems like a good idea.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: All right, Question fifteen, What color is a cricket ball
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: used in international cricket and so long? Answered? So for
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Test matches which are played only in daylight, red ball
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: is used. For One day Internationals and T twenties were
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: part or whole of the matches played on the lights,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: White ball is.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Used and off.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Late pink ball has started to be used for Test
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: matches that are played under lights. So traditionally Test matches
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: were always daytime affairs, you know.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: You began at nine in the morning, wrapped up by
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: five or another.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: But the last couple three years they have started to
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: play Test matches that you know, start during the day
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: but wrap up later in the evening, so they play
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: them under lights, and so those they use.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: The pink ball.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Makes sense on what are the balls made of?
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: So it's a solid core which is I think cork
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: or somewhere there, and it's covered in leather.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I think it's same to a similar to.
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: A baseball, yeah yeah, But the big difference is with
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: cricket they have two halves of leather that they fuse
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: together and so you have a single scene that runs
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: right along the circumference.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: But baseball you have the curvey kind of thing. Yea.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: So the way the.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Cricket bowler uses the scene is very different than how
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: the baseball picture users.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Interesting, but it's almost the same size and weight. It's
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: not all that different size and way, and it hurts
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: as much if you get hit right.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Question sixteen, the last question before the big bang. What
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: do you call an official in a cricket match? And
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: how many are present on the field during play? The
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: official is called an umpire. There are two umpires on
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: the field during play. There is also a video review
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: official up in a booth in the stands for video
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: review situations. So cricket calls it the DRS Decision preview system.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: I think different sports have different names. I think, Yeah,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: soccer they call it va R. I think video assisted referee.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: As this is all pretty new last ten to twenty years,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: they start doing that stuff, I think.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: And they keep changing the situations.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Where you can use the review system the other Yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: to keep it going or else you know, it go
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: all night all week.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just keep.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Challenging and saying review this. It takes ten minutes to review.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I know like the umpire is going off to review
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: the Zapruder film.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Well, that's it for the regular rounds. That means it's
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: time for the Big Bang Round. We're going to ask
• 40:34
