UPDATED WEEKLY

Now they do it with a podcast recorder handy, which sometimes they remember to turn on. Stand by for a podcast full of insights and lacking in organisation.

Magnificent podcast fellas. I download it to get me from A to B in outback NT (remote teacher). I agree with Gideon re Maxwell and Trumper having a 360 degrees link (plus spirit) - and it got me 150 kms. D Martyn also has the 360. Yallop, Jones, Maxwell. See u at the 4th test, always.

What a treat to have two of cricket writings absolute GOATs pontificating on all manner of things (including sometimes, cricket) - all on their own terms. Essential.
