  • Addictive listening

    I get so immersed in what one of you is saying, don’t want to miss a word, and then someone decides to interrupt. That sets off a chain reaction, everyone starts talking at once. Loudly, to drown out the others. Please, I love this podcast, I really want to hear what you’re saying. Can’t you take turns like your mothers taught you?

  • Stick to cricket

    Was looking forward to listening to Botham, and then Walsh and Ambrose episodes but have just turned off latter as it’s just noise. Can’t hear what’s going on as they are all just talking over top of each other and just having side conversations with each other. When Botham tried to pick his best side they just talked all over top of him, he even commented he couldn’t think straight for all the wittering going on. Such a shame, love stick to football which is a much more polished podcast. The 4... more

  • Great show

    Really enjoy the show but sometimes you get the balance wrong. Just listening to the post Stokes retirement show and the loss to NZ. Stokes is fabulous but it seems you attribute no blame to Stokes for the debacle of the last year.

  • It’s good but a bit self indulgent

    These guys are obviously experts and have great insight. But the 15 minutes of inanity at the beginning is a bit indulgent and boring. Stick to Cricket guys - the episodes could be shorter and tighter.

Q: When you go into, like, coach one of these franchise teams, what is it that you first do?
