Fabulous podcast. A complementary group of cricket enthusiasts who take a rounded, non-partisan view of the world game. Elegant and eloquent.
Best NZ cricket podcast
Like any good top order, this podcast leaves anything outside off stump but will punch back topics past the bowler for an easy two. Maybe four.
Wow! This is far better than even this biased Aussie expected!! The banter and chemistry between the panel is excellent. The production quality is generally A standard (some of your guests may need to be closer to the mike). It is very listenable - particularly if you listen to it while on some other mind-numbing task. It comes into its own when accompanying lawn mowing or Z-Grade carpentry sessions in the shed!
Congratulations guys: great guests, great knowledge, great banter, great quality!
Well done team, really enjoyable listen!
