  • A MUST for the cricket casual or seasoned badger

    On the face if it, Sweeper and Owl are an odd couple, but this works brilliantly on this pod. It covers everything from international test cricket to the typically English aspects of the village / amateur game.

    Content and features are perfectly pitched, insight from Woody is fascinating, guests are relaxed and open - and all of it kept humorous, light-hearted and genuine.

  • A great listen.

    Always enjoy listening to Middle Please, Umpire as Miles Jupp, Mark Wood and their guests make for a great listen.

    Even as an Aussie barracking for the great Australian Cricket Team against the poms, it feels like Middle Please, Umpire is less about historic and sometimes antagonistic rivalries and more about a love for the great game of cricket. Which frankly is a nice change of medium pace!

    Cheers for a great podcast, I look forward to many more episodes.
