“Despite being a British listener (based in grotty Birmingham), I have been listening to this podcast for around 18 months, and must say it is the best cricket podcast out there. Although recorded by die-hard Aussies (and let's not forget Kiwi Bob), it nevertheless gives a balanced, insightful and entertaining analysis of international cricket. Still, the excellent panelists are not afraid to tackle the hard topics with forthright opinions, and are prepared to challenge each other. Despite this, I am glad to hear that the professionalism does break down a little when it comes to Pommie bashing. On this count, I am equally one-sided, and revelled in the post portems following Trent Bridge 2015, Sri Lanka 2016 and the current South African series.
In addition to the regular panelists they also have some excellent guests and have particularly enjoyed listening to Gus Worland and Lisa Sthalekar of late. As with many others, the "Commentator Critique" is a particular favourite, albeit it has made me whince on occasions!
The build up to the Ashes in 12 months will undoubtedly be good value, and whilst Australia are currently pitiful, I am sure that they will still do just enough for me to have to take a 2-month hiatus in my listening to this excellent podcast. As the eternal pessimist, I am awaiting a textbook England collapse tomorrow, which will no doubt get a mention in next week's show.
Keep up the good work all, and many thanks for many hours of great listening.”Read full review »

Most podcasts are just news and press conferences. This one I like because it gets me into the cricket culture of Australia -- lots...”Read full review »

“I've loved this podcast for a long time, but I'm getting concerned.
Mainly about the professionalism of the 'cast.
Who's this Andrew Menczal fella? He sounds more likely to sell me Dutch pancakes than know which side of the toss to fall on.
Bring back Menners! More Macca, and...”Read full review »

“This is an outstanding podcast, covering much more than cricket. Ranging into social and socio economic commentary around the borders of sport, politics, and current events, a cricket podcast has simply never covered so much ground with more intelligence, wit, wisdom and honesty. Always well...”Read full review »
