BOLTS Cricket Podcast

This week we bask in the glory of a Sunday Night W over the formidable but inconsistent Pittsburgh Steelers. We discussed the long awaited arrival of subterfuge to this Greg Roman offense, as well as Ladd McConkey's biggest game of the year, some excellent work from the entire secondary, and the continued return to form of Daiyan Henley. In cricket, we covered the end of the India v Australia T20I series, a very inexplicable trade agreed between the Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai Super Kings, and the beginning of the WBBL.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

Aryaan is back in this week, and we had an excellent time discussing our first game this season as a podcast, as well as all the ups and downs of last week's game against the Titans. We reminisced about the greatest Chargers game we've ever been to, and told Chargers beat reporter Daniel Popper to chill out about the massive perennial Chargers adversity we knew was coming. In cricket, we discussed a thrilling, unprecedented win for the Indian women in the ODI World Cup featuring scintillating all-round performances from Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma. We closed with me reveling in being right about Arshdeep Singh YET AGAIN and trying to decide which team Aryaan should support in the Big Bash.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

We've got two games in one episode this week as the Chargers split a pair of home games three days apart. I go into all of the frustrations against the Colts, including Justin Herbert's most passing yards in a game going to waste and the complete disintegration of Jesse Minter's pattern match coverages. However, it was a great rebound against the Vikings with a 37-10 win on Thursday night, where we saw another massive game from Kimani Vidal and serious improvement on the defensive side. Finally, I previewed the knockout stages of the Women's World Cup, as well as the India vs Australia series.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

This week, I bask in the relief of a much needed 30-27 win over the Miami Dolphins. I started out going through an improved performance on offense, highlighted by Ladd's first big game of the year and the offensive line upping their game from horrible to decent. On defense, I discuss the up-and-down performance, with particular emphasis on the new big issue with our team which is outside run defense. In cricket, I analyzed another India Test win over the West Indies and detailed all the latest happenings from the Womens ODI World Cup.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

This week we nearly had a completely somber podcast, but the vibes were saved by yet another crucial miss from disgusting Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. The biggest hot topic of the weekend, which was of course the Chargers' continued failure to protect Justin Herbert, and I dove into a number of potential solutions, from training staff tweaks to just signing Stevo Klotz like I beg them to every week. I ended football with some encouraging Punjab Kings parallels to ponder. In cricket, I briefly touched on the lopsided first India-WI Test before moving on to discuss the ongoing Women's ODI World Cup.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

Welp, we knew that one was coming eventually. I am thankfully joined by friend of the pod Marco to pick up the pieces from a classic Chargers unexplainable loss to the Giants. We discuss the debut of the Giants' latest mouth-breathing loser QB from Ole Miss and his overrated debut, frustrations with a banged up offensive line, a monster breakout game and more. After a football fan-friendly cricket segment, we closed with some discussion of urbanism here in Los Angeles, with a preview of how our Podcasting Lair could be the answer to decades of transit problems along the Sepulveda Pass.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

It's a beautiful day here in the B*O*L*T*S Podcasting Tunnel Lair 3000 feet below Fred Rosen's house in Bel Air as our beloved football team has dispatched the disliked Broncos to improve to a perfect 3-0. I go through the 3 bad plays that obfuscated an otherwise stellar day from the Chargers defense, as well as Quentin Johnston's monster transformation, breakout games from Omarion Hampton and Oronde Gadsden II, Najee Harris' devastating injury, and much more. On the cricket side of things, I gave an update on the Asia Cup, before touching on an infuriating (for me, the LA Knight Riders fan) CPL Championship win by the Trinbago Knight Riders.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

FIRST PLACE SPECIAL! I am here with a quick round-up of a convincing win over the Raiders in Las Vegas. The headline this week was the defense, with Daiyan Henley becoming the second Chargers player in two weeks to play the game of his life while sick. I also covered a reality-check performance from Geno Smith, Justin and Q's continued dominance of the AFC West, and some continued struggles in the running game. In the world of cricket, I discussed an Asia Cup consisting for five real cricketing nations, two Gulf oil states and one Hong Kong. We closed things out with an update on the intrepid Antigua and Barbuda Falcons and their quest to win the CPL with a terrible net run rate.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

Aryaan is back to celebrate one of the happiest Chargers occasions we've ever had: a veritable smacking of the hated Kansas City Chiefs. We cover everything on and off the field, from Justin Herbert's electric performance, to Teair Tart's cathartic slap on Travis Kelce, to Heidi Gardner's self loathing spiraling EVEN FURTHER out of control, to an amazing surprise appearance from O Captain My Captain Shreyas Iyer. Also Harrison Butker is a fascist who can't hit extra points!Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

Preseason is over and I'm here to take you through all the big plays from the chargers' 30-23 loss to the 49ers, including a masterclass performance from undrafted linebacker Marlowe Wax. We proceed to go through the difficult and controversial decisions that defined cut day, with some deep sadness on my end surrounding the departure of my favorite camp player Stevo Klotz. Not to worry however, I concluded football on a much lighter note with the hilarious news of Justin Herbert forcing the hand of Taylor Swift in major decisionmaking.In the world of cricket, I discussed some strange and anomalous happenings in the CPL table, before closing with the Ambanis' announcement that they have found a way to make The Hundred even worse.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

This week, I shook off some preseason blues to break down a fascinating but infuriating 23-22 loss to the rams. The prospect breakdowns continue as well, with a look at RJ Mickens, Jamaree Caldwell, and Rocket Sanders. Finally, I closed out with a couple key cricket stories: Sanju Samson's ongoing trade showdown with the Rajasthan Royals, and USA Cricket's termination of their contract with MLC operator American Cricket Enterprises.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

Hot Cricket Summer is in full swing and we are here to discuss it all! This week we discuss the lopsided first two WT20Is between India and England, before moving onto the English men and their fumbling of the bag in the second test against India.

We're back to cap off a thrilling but unfortunate end to the IPL season that has us (Nick) bawling and laughing at the same time. We covered the full finish, including Abhishek Sharma's run-in with a Tata Curvv, Shreyas' heroic innings to send PBKS to the final, and their heartbreaking loss in said final while Nick was on jury duty. We moved on to congratulate Temba Bavuma and South Africa on an excellent World Test Championship win, and closed by mourning India's poopy loss in the first test against England.Subscribe for more dispatches from the NFL's 4077th team and wacky cricket updatesFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boltscricketpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boltscricketpodcastSubscribe to our Youtube channel at youtube.com/@BOLTSpodcastEmail us at boltscricketpodcast@gmail.com

Sick Kates and the Special One himself Aryaan Mohrinho are here to discuss the bombshell report from Chris Barrett at the Sydney Morning Herald detailing the Saudi plan to take over world cricket.
