Give Alan a chance

Always a good listen - but could Miller and Alan take turns hosting perhaps? Enjoy listening to both of them but would enjoy Alan being allowed to speak for extended periods just as much (maybe even more so…)

Outstanding cricket podcast

I have only just found this podcast and it’s already number one on my cricket podcast list! No agendas at all just good objective analysis!

Unique pod !

Just discovered this podcast – absolutely brilliant. Serious (makes a change these days) and very well informed.
The presenters come across as real people who care about the game- no 'self projection'.
Also there are no adverts – dreamland!
