“This was one of the best cricket podcasts going. Now the presenters are gone, replaced by a robot-voiced script rehashing old news and providing nothing new or insightful.

“Gideon and Pete were an absolute pleasure to listen to. Insightful and intelligent. Wonderful communicators. Easily the best cricket podcast around.

“I sought out Cricket etc for two of the best cricket journalists whose ideas and insights I thoroughly enjoy. I am surprised you would allow the current stealth insertion of an entirely different show. A little unprincipled chaps.”

“Loved the podcast and will miss it. Thanks for all the shows. Not sure what I will listen to now on my walks. I have a lot of cricket pods I like, but yours is far and a away my favourite. Any chance your pod until at least the end of the World Cup? Missing you already. Had I known what was...”Read full review »

“Gents, really enjoyed your coverage of the Ashes. The best informed and articulated of the numerous pods on the tour.
Also, the Greg Chappell feature was fascinating, as was the Brearley piece. More of these please!”

“Have been a huge fan of the podcast. The recording/sound quality of the latest podcast is a bit of a joke. I wonder why this podcast was put up. It is really bad. Doesn’t anyone check this before putting it up?”

“This podcast is a must for cricket fans - especially during the current Ashes series. Sure, they’re Aussies, but their even handed views and dry humour are great to hear. Add them to their enjoyment of the back alleys of Leeds and it’s a winner.”

“They have zero interest in the BBL and seem to actively work against it, despite the fact that crowds and tv audiences are way up. T20 cricket is the future whether we like it or not. Read the room, otherwise you’ll be left behind”
