  • 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.

  • Great pod, needs more Geoff

    After shopping around a bunch of cricket pods I landed here after devouring Geoff’s eloquent and insightful pieces in the Guardian. Enjoy the passion that Adam brings but would also love for him to leave a bit more space for Geoff to talk. Thanks!

  • Good content, brought to you by evil

    Good, sensible and interesting chat. Let down by evil sponsors (Australia’s chief Maurice Blackburn, Hawthorn Hawks and Glenn Maxwell apologists)

  • Sick of the swearing

    Hosted by two juveniles, constant unnecessary swearing that adds nothing to the podcast. I’ve had enough and the advertisers should direct their money elsewhere.
