The Don Bradman of cricket match archival, Rob started his career in 1982 and has amassed close to 70,000 hrs of recorded cricket footage! Rob went on to run robelinda, a super successful Youtube channel that had all this fantastic footage available online for absolutely free! The channel ran for 14 years and gave us cricket fans around the world their own free-to-air cricket-Netflix, prior to being unfortunately terminated. Watching cricket videos is the easy part, but actually recording & uploading the stuff is no mean feat. Most times, archival footage is the sole property of cricket boards & broadcasters who don’t have to deal with potential legal implications. However, not everything is available on demand and this is where passionate individuals like Mr Moody come to our rescue.  Many other unsung online warriors exist, but what makes Rob special is the motivation to do this minus any monetary benefit This is what makes today&#39;s pod special - the opportunity to speak with an unselfish super-fan!  Follow Rob Moody on X (formerly known as Twitter) @robelinda2

Ep 2. Met Rob Moody, the cricket archive legend’

A native of Kolkata, West Bengal, TC grew up in the city of joy in the 1980s as a huge sports buff, primarily cricket & football, two pastimes the city’s well known for. After a decade & a half of a  corporate career, Trinanjan finally decided to seriously pursue his passion for writing and release a first book on cricket history.  We use the pod to discuss One Day International cricket, a format that is now at a crossroads. Once the go-to staple for limited overs, dwindling viewership, less than acceptable returns, and stiff competition from a more hip cousin have made its  existence endangered.  Join us for a chat on how the limited-overs format lived through the years, and if it still does & will do..  Lastly, 1Bat2Balls much appreciates the listening time you’ve given to us for our first ever episode and do stay tuned for our next episode with Rob Moody, cricket archival Guru!  For any information related to the show or episode, DM @SportRadioAS1 on X (formerly known as Twitter) -  Forgotten Sons https://www.amazon.in/Forgotten-Sons-Untold-Stories-Cricket/dp/1648999646 Trinanjan Chakraborty  Twitter Handle (now known as X) -  @TrinanjanChakr4 The Paperclip https://thepaperclip.in/ Twitter Handle (now known as X)  - @Paperclip_In
