  • Know Nothing but Love It Anyway

    I am in the United States and know nothing about Cricket. But I’ve been listening for several years now and love the 3 commentators on this podcast. Everyone is so knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. They support girls/women cricket in India which just seems life-changing for Indian women. Love this podcast, give it a try!

    Congrats again on an e... more
