Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 19 ratings
  • Too much focus on women’s cricket

    Quite a good listen. But the host with the husky voice stutters and stammers too much. And you can guarantee that the vast majority who listen to this aren’t at all interested in women’s cricket but they keep thrusting that to the top of the agenda. Got George dobell fingerprints all over this
