  • Batting on at Old Trafford

    I could not disagree more with the position taken from the contributors on here! The match conditions clearly state BOTH captains have to agree to a draw at the final hour mark. India made the decision to bat on and that is there right! Their paying fans (unlike journalists who get to watch free) wanted to see hundreds from Jadeja and Sundar so why should Gill disappoint them! Just because England’s captain and players, supported by members of the British media, disagree with the decision and pr... more

  • No more gambling adds please

    Have listened to this since the beginning and enjoy the two Simon’s analysis. However I am finding the current betting adverts hard to take, particularly the constant weaving of the odds into the dialogue at the start of each episode. I know they have to pay the bills, but surely they recognise the damage done by gambling addiction? Not sure I can take much more and don’t want to have to skip the first 5 minutes of each episode.

  • My Favourite Podcast

    I listen to most cricket podcasts and there are some superb offerings. Wisden, TMS, Sky etc. But the Analyst with the 2 Simon’s is fantastic. Week in, week out. A must for any cricket fan.

  • Brilliant

    Love this show. Wonderful to hear Simon offer some forthright views (which we don’t hear on TMS) on a wonderful series and umpires who have lost control of the players. Also fascinating to see the Indian players showing some frustration at the end of the game. Carry on.
