  • Flawed gem

    Been listening for a couple of years as a cricket fan of 50 years. Overall wonderful but I cherry pick out the episodes with Lemon, Ponsonby, Norcross, Westbury, Coney. I find Collins a little too much with the continuous self-centered “me/I” chat and his five minute advertisement reads. Episodes without Collins are greedily inhaled.

  • Retired hurt

    Sorry boys I had to bail on your otherwise fantastic podcast due to the never ending barrage of swear words. I don’t want to come off as a snowflake, but you should be aware that the unnecessary and contentious use of expletives can drive a percentage of your audience away, at least that’s the case with me.
