4.5 out of 5 stars from 221 ratings
  • Great stories, sub-par hosting

    As someone that is immersed in sports in the US as well as cricket, there is a distinct lack of even decent content for podcasts in cricket. This podcast has great stories, but, Cyrus isn’t a good podcast host. He talks too much and doesn’t offer much in terms of insights except for silly jokes seem forced.
