What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

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!!

Another idiot abroad · Aug 2020

This is one of my 3 favorite cricket podcasts. Very insightful, like the random bits of info, good fun overall. One small suggestion is that you could devote a couple of minutes each podcast or perhaps every other podcast providing some explanations for us that are new-ish to the game. Cricket is a game that has such a steep learning curve, and beautifully odd terminology, that I think this would help to grow the fan base for the game, particularly here in the US. Specially useful would be information on the state of the pitch, and why it matters, as well as bowling lengths and lines. For instance, a mini-lesson on the state of the pitch could have been sneaked in during the discussion of whether Australia should have batted first on the first day of the fifth test at the Oval. Obviously you don’t want to spend too much time and bore the knowledgeable listeners, but just a couple of minutes would do.

Interesting content but Phil Walker constantly interrupts other speakers mid-sentence. Makes for unpleasant listening.
