What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Kate and Alex have somehow corked and bottled the feeling of sitting in the pub with your two funniest cricket-loving friends. The cricket insight is excellent, but their chemistry is the real star of the show. The stories are hilarious, the banter is effortless, and the laughter is infectious. More than once I’ve caught myself laughing out loud while listening on my daily run. For lifelong cricket fans or newcomers still trying to figure out how the DLS works, No Balls is an absolute delight—and delightfully true to its name.

SirGoraji · Jul 2026

Thanks for the humor and for helping this American understand the women’s game better. I was taught cricket by watching the Aussie men’s team with Aussies, so your perspective is really helpful, especially now that so many women’s games stream here. This is a top-tier pod in my rotation. I’m forever grateful for the mental image of Pez catching a rocketing wombat.
