Neel and Dhruv weigh in on the viral clips of cricketers slamming home runs at MLB events and on Mr. Beast's channel; Dhruv compares the biomechanics of baseball and cricket, while Neel has good news for Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav's Little League baseball careers. We also revisit past attempts to bring cricketers to pro baseball, including the 2014 movie "Million Dollar Arm."
Now that the World Series is over, Neel explores how the impending MLB lockout and (potentially) canceled 2027 season could be a huge opportunity for Major League Cricket (MLC) next summer, and Dhruv examines one team's dominance at last week's Minor League Cricket (MiLC) championships. Plus, a teaser of cricket at the 2028 Olympics in LA, how to improve MLC's fan experience, creative playoff formats, and one man's journey from poverty to cricket to baseball to WWE (!?) to monkhood (??!!).
