    198: Bharat Sundaresan (Player Profile)

    198: Bharat Sundaresan (Player Profile)

    He is the wordsmith wizard who wields his pen like a cricket bat. His love for the game is as strong as a Steve Smith cover drive, but Bharat Sundaresan is not just a journalist; he's the literary leg-spinner who bowls you over with his wit and wisdom, making the world of cricket a tad quirkier and a whole lot more entertaining.

    Now, if that isn't a description that Bharat would be proud of, i don't know what is!

    He is unique. He is beautiful and his story is stunning and his Player Profile is just as good!

Bruce McAvaney

Hey Howie

I re-listened to your Bruce interview. He is the best broadcaster in the last 50 years.

The Howie asking questions of episode thirty something isn’t near as good as the latest episodes.

Can you do Brice again and dive in as deep into as you now do.

He’s the best there ever was, lets hear with Howie 2021 asking questions.

Background noise is distracting

Sounds like he’s cleaning the kitchen and making sandwiches. Hearing the wife and dog is odd. Super distracting from otherwise awesome content.

baffled battler ,

Best thing I’ve listened to since Clarke’s took two wickets in the last over at the school

I think it’s brilliant. Love the stories have listened to most twice. Just be careful with the jarrod Lyle episode. Found myself driving along the i80 in California balling my eyes out. Good stuff howie.
