  • Top notch

    Great pod, Jarrod in the very top echelon of cricket writers/commentators/entertainers. Would enjoy it more if Behram could stop shouting and interrupting Jarrod tho

  • Always worth a listen

    Generally great and really well-informed cricket chat. Occasionally slips into variations on the theme of ‘Are England actually rubbish’ from an Australian and Indian perspective which, as an Englishman, can get a bit tiresome. But always done intelligently

  • Best cricket podcast

    Good Areas is by far the best cricket podcast aimed at serious cricket fans. Love Jarrod’s analysis and all the content he does and especially enjoying the KimAppa series with Robbie. Great to get an insight from someone who has played at the highest level who is able to talk freely about the sport and its characters.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can modern day batters bat through Day 5 | Uncovered
Q: Can older generations or previous test teams go into the fourth innings hoping that they can chase down 400?
Varun argues that comparisons across eras must account for changes in pitches, bowling accuracy and the nature of modern cricket, while noting that white-ball cricket has influenced batting in some ways.
Can modern day batters bat through Day 5 | Uncovered
Q: Could a modern day test team bat through day five?
The panel says it is possible, citing recent examples, but argues that modern conditions and tactics have changed how often teams can or should do so.
Where does BCCI money actually go? | Wagon Wheel
Q: Two of the three cricket formats are plagued by apocryphal statements. Test match cricket is going to die. ODI cricket is a format that will die. Please can you compare and contrast the perceived versus probable likelihood of these?
Kimber sees Test cricket as financially viable, even if it becomes a smaller or more niche product. He considers ODI cricket more vulnerable because it competes with T20, has less prestige than Tests, and faces financial concerns around List A cricket and the 50-over World Cup.
Where does BCCI money actually go? | Wagon Wheel
Q: Where does BCCI money actually go? The infrastructure doesn't seem like it reflects the amount of money they earn. I know it goes to state associations, but where exactly?
Kimber says the spending is not clearly visible in training facilities, lower-level professionalism or stadiums. He argues that cricket boards should disclose how their money is spent because fans fund the game through subscriptions, media rights, tickets and merchandise.
What Does The Future of Nightwatchmen Look Like? | The KimAppa Show
Q: Did you ever feel emasculated asking for a Nightwatch?
Robin says it can feel that way, and the two discuss why teams ask tired bowlers to bat at the most challenging time of the day.
