  • Great Podcast

    Great cricket show - Harmy is excellent, closely followed by other presenters. Later addition - please ease off the bet fair ad a bit… Just read other reviews - agree the volumes need to be worked on but upset by one comment about Harmy - he is one of the best commentators on cricket at the moment… another addition - I’ve probably listened to all the cricket podcasts and this is now my go to show along with World Cricket Show.

    Great cricket show - Harmy is excellent, closely followed by other presenters. Later addition - please ease off the bet fair ad a bit… Just read other reviews - agree the volumes need to be worked on but upset by one comment about Harmy - he is one of the best commentators on cricket at the moment and he’s open about his past academic education - personal comments are really out of order. Give him credit for challenging himself to speak in front of camera and radio - not easy and he knows what h... more

  • Sound levels

    I love the show but I wish the sound levels could improve. I have to max the volume to hear the conversation then the ads come on and blast me out of my car or house. All the other podcasts I listen to manage sound levels well but sadly this show is really poor at this.

  • Sound Levels Need Work

    This podcast is so irritating to try & listen to. The content you want to hear is really quiet, as if no microphones were used at all, so you turn it up to the loudest volume you can in your device only to have your eardrums ruptured when an advert kicks in! Does anyone involved actually listen to it to check it is fit for purpose?
