Customer Reviews
Good, but...
Excellent content from intelligent hosts and contributors. Only drawback are some truly, horrible production values - sounds like they record remote comnentary off the speaker on their mobiles.
Why aren't you already listening to this?
If you love cricket, then yeah you should. The best cricket podcast there is. There's a few good ones but this one has just the right mix of wit, intelligence and alertness to the game. I've been listening since the first episode.
Would be nice if they spent a bit more time with cricket that isn't England and IPL. We understand that it's Wisden but we're all cricket lovers, and the fraternity extends past national sides.
You don't have to be English to enjoy this, So if you're a genuine cricket lover (I am one) you're very likely to appreciate the conversations.
And I certainly hope that this has more listeners than say, Tailenders. Another good podcast but not for the minimal cricket chat.
Amazing
My go-to pod for cricket chat. Intelligent, funny, and entertaining, these guys know what they’re on about. Oh, and I used to teach Yas - legend!!
