I’m really loving pod. Crossy and Alex are brilliant. I love their chemistry together. Their friendship is so nice and listening to this pod makes me feel part of that friendship. It’s great.
Keep up the great work
So glad you are back doing the pod. Easier to find and now I can run and laugh to myself about your exploits
With a massive summer of women’s World Cup sport happening I’m so glad the girls are back! Can’t wait to hear their insider insights of what’s going on and what/who to look out for.
Listening to the pod is like being in a pub with your friends..well, if my friends actually liked cricket! 😂
So good to have Kate and Alex back. This is a fun, empathetic podcast with plenty of laughs and plenty of well informed cricket chat.
