What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy this podcast. I’m an American cricket fan and relatively new to the sport. Always learning from this show, amongst some others. I love the guests that are found featured here. The recent episode with Nathan Ellis especially was lovely. Keep up the great work!

Anne Hathaway Noa · Sep 2025

Sam Ferris is the perfect interviewer. So, when he is interviewing a player he is respectful and interested but he doesn’t grovel. He also doesn’t try & be too friendly with the players which other commentators are guilty of. One thing he is an absolute master of: he asks a question & then listens. He does not insert his opinions into the conversation. Really good place to get up to date on Australian cricket.

Not niche or tragic · Oct 2020

As an Aus fan in the US, I've developed a few trusted sources on cricket news from around the world. This podcast is a regular part of my rotation because it provides interviews with Aussies and that I wouldn't get otherwise. It's helpful perspective on my favorite team.

Terrific guests and analysis. Marred by consistently poor audio, particularly with Ponting. Doesn’t anyone have access to a landline?
