I really like this chat about cricket. Knowledgeable and funny and not with the ‘all about me . Let me talk about MY wonderful career ‘ heard on TV commentary. This one is great fun

I love all Max’s pod casts and as he’s based in Australia he’s not as delusional about how good England’s cricketers are compared to Australia’s as most English pundits - perhaps that’s due to Geoff Lemon’s influence. Although like all his countryman Max can’t help talking about 2005 a lot.
