Review of Oborne & Heller on Cricket - Just about perfect

Just about perfect

☆

“Osborne and Heller both have gorgeous radio voices and a total command of the language. They love and know cricket but understand CLR James’ dictum that ‘what do they know of cricket who only cricket know?’ Excellent guests whom they know how to bring the best out of. I found the Peter Hain episode deeply moving: just old enough to remember the fuss in the background but no sense at all of what hain went through until hearing that episode (then reading his book). (It made me proud of my own tiny role fighting for divestment on the campus of a private us university in the eighties). But every episode teaches us something new. I want to spend some days at some county matches sitting with my 81 year old dad and our mate Bob watching joyfully and listening to these chaps in the car and during the breaks. (Normally we discuss education policy!). Anyway. Outstanding. Another gift that the pandemic has brought. (Alongside antique dust and teaching in person on an otherwise deserted campus!)”

Brilliant - shame no more

☆

“First rate podcast with insightful conversations across a broad range of cricket related themes. Shame the hosts don’t seem to be recording it anymore.”
