  • Poor

    Really enjoyed this podcast from a current player and a recently retired player. So really good insight to the current game but the recent top 10 of all rounders i would come up with. I get teammate/english bias.

    Flintoff shouldn’t be in that list, I’d put him in the list because that’s my childhood! Bear in mind they said at the beginning of the episode it’s based on test, yet they have stokes in the top 3 and ahead of botham. Sir Ian doesn’t make the top 3 but stokes ahead

  • Bazball era

    Love the podcast but can’t believe the blind spot to the negatives of McCallum influence. For me it started when England threw away the last Test against India last year after Brooke had put the team on a virtually unbeatable position. Then the same atrocious unaccountable batting on the Ashes, has left few players in a better place than 2 years ago.
