Azeem Rafiq - the man who rocked the sport in 2020 with his seismic revelations of racism - and experienced broadcaster Matt Kabir Floyd take an opinionated look at the big stories affecting world cricket and other sports on and off the pitch. A British Pakistani from Barnsley and an Anglo Indian from London, the two of them certainly don’t agree on everything and are more than happy to vociferously argue their point. Using their widespread contacts in sport and politics they bring in regular guests of note to help debate the topics of the day. Nothing is off the table! New episodes every Wednesday and look out for other ‘bonus episodes’ throughout the week.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-23T06:17:38.502140+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-not-just-cricket-6898930"},"episode":{"title":"Strike rate surge & Babar's evolution","slug":"strike-rate-surge-babar-s-evolution","published_at":"2026-05-06T19:14:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-not-just-cricket-6898930/strike-rate-surge-babar-s-evolution","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-not-just-cricket-6898930","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG5172159406.mp3","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG5172159406.mp3","summary":"IPL batting strikes rates have surged this year but don't write off the touch players just yet - the likes of Rahul, Kohli and Babar have been quietly evolving.
