Customer Reviews
Love of cricket
Entertaining and informative podcast . Mark is an enthusiast par excellence . A great listen for all cricket lovers
Hilarious and heartfelt
Mark Church oozes his love of cricket, but in a way that would make even someone who’d never heard of the game fall in love with it. This podcast has kept me going on my long runs to raise funds for some of the worst affected by the pandemic in Latin America.
Brilliant & funny.
I love this.
