Our Favorite Commentators

Episode 110

Saturday, May 18, 2024 • Duration 01:22:58

Commentary is an integral part of watching live sport on tv or following it on radio. We all owe some part of our acquired sporting knowledge through the commentary booth. However in this age of information some commentators fail to connect with a larger audience. Could thier views be outdated? Has commentarty changed over the years? Is there a clear interference from cricket governing bodies on free speech in the booth?

In the latest episode of the podcast we exchange notes on our favorite commentators and try to tackle the above questions. Joining host Saqib Ali are podcast regulars Kevin Framp and Vijay Arumugam. The conversation centres on cricket but stretches to football, hockey and tennis reference points. Tune in and share your list of favorite commentators along with any agreement/disagreement on what was recorded on this show.

Parenting Tomorrow's Champions: Sports and Fatherhood

Episode 109

Friday, March 29, 2024 • Duration 01:25:27

This week's episode is a departure from what we cover on the podcast. We have two father's joining the show to talk about the sporting journey of their respective kids - who are honing their skills in other sports. Deepak Rao from UK and Ahmed Hussain from US join host Saqib Ali to talk about a parents role in this journey with Squash and Baseball as the disciplines of practice.

Deepak's daughter Aditi is a ranked junior in the UK Squash system and competes in junior events across Europe. Ahmed's son Farzad has been pitching and playing little league games for more than 5 years now. This is probably a similar exercise of a cricket family anywhere in the world. It is an enjoyable conversation given how much we all treasure the behind the scenes process in sports. Deepak and Ahmed are candid enough to let us in their private bubbles, where both families have prioritized and centred their routines around the chosen sports their kids fell in love with.

100th episode - How we got here and what lies ahead!

Episode 100

Sunday, May 28, 2023 • Duration 01:38:07

As Cricket with an Accent reaches a 100 episodes, @aftabkhanna takes over the moderator’s chair and along with Saqib, Vijay and Saahil, we look ahead to the future of cricket podcasting.

Thank you helping us get to the 100th episode and we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed doing this!

Reminiscing the Career of AB de Villiers

Episode 99

Saturday, May 20, 2023 • Duration 01:09:47

On this episode of the pod we look back at one of the true modern day greats - AB De Villiers. Helping host Saqib Ali do the honors are freelance cricket reporter from South Africa Dan Gallan and ABD superfan Prithvi. We needed an incredibly analytical fan and a cricket reporter for this episode to breakdown the highs and lows of the genius cricketer.

De Villiers is a bit of an interesting study as well because his career shares the same timeline with other modern greats and he was also a mediocre captain unlike some of the greats. Prithvi and Dan also highlight the racial allegations on the man towards the end of this career.

Tune in and see how we remember this great talent.

West Indies vs Pakistan -Showdown of the 80’s

Episode 98

Sunday, April 30, 2023 • Duration 02:10:36

The West Indies of the Clive Lloyd-Viv Richards era is arguably one of the greatest teams in all of sports. They did not lose a test series for a span of 15 years and won two cricket world cups among other laurels. In the 80's their most worthy adversary was Imran Khan led Pakistan side. The two sides clashed three times in a span of 6 years and produced three drawn series. In the latest episode of the podcast I am joined by Pakistani cricket broadcaster Sohaib Alvi and podcast resident guest Vijay Arumugam.

Both guests fill this two hour long episode with great recall of historical sequence of the Pakistan West Indies rivalry. It is a great listen for all cricket fans to get the context of this clash of the titans. Key names covered are Clive Lloyd, Imran Khan, Viv Richards, Javed Miandad, Abdul Qadir and Desmond Haynes among others.

Mohammad Azharuddin remains one of the most mystical figures in all of cricket. His rise and fall from grace have both been meteoric.
