“This is a fascinating series to hear from those who were good enough to be chosen for a test but for various reasons never had a second opportunity. It is very poignant and at times amusing and full of pathos but not self-pity by those one-off internationals. Brian asks all the right questions...”Read full review »

“For mentioning this podcast when commentating. Some great stories and a shame these guys didn’t get a chance for a second test.
Perhaps that’s your next podcast, ‘2 test wonders’ 😀”

“Very interesting stories from the nearly men of cricket and a great insight into the often shambolic running of the England team in the 80s and 90s in particular. Is there another series in the pipeline? Missing it already!”

“Test cricket is the greatest game on earth and to hear from people who only got to play one Test and are so appreciative for the opportunity is refreshing. Brian has done an incredible job of celebrating cricket careers that at a glance failed at the highest level but universally were very...”Read full review »

“This is a wonderful podcast, exploring those cricketers who had one chance at doing what every cricket fan dreams of: playing for their country. Brian gently explores the stories behind the one appearances, with some truly extraordinary individuals. I cannot recommend it enough.”

“This is a fascinating insight into Test cricket, the characters and psychology, the culture of the various times. But most of all it’s about the personal experiences of talented professionals and Brian Murgatroyd leads this so well. The stories, anecdotes, humour and resilience in the face of...”Read full review »

“This is a fascinating concept,so much more interesting than listening to the usual suspects. The intriguing situation of extraordinary achievement versus untapped potential interspersed with insights into the individual versus team dynamic makes for compelling listening.”

“This series is fabulous - each player has a fascinating and very different story to tell and they do so candidly, seemingly without remorse, and with also a great sense of pride having been picked to play test cricket. I’m sure that’s in no small part due to Brian’s interview style and...”Read full review »

“They may only have 1 Cap, but that’s one more than most of us. Amazing to hear how haphazard selection was and poor communication and preparation could be. Excellent series, very well presented by BM. More of a conversation than an interview”

“‘One Test Wonders’ is a fantastic podcast series from Brian Murgatroyd. He puts huge research in and asks great questions to the lucky guys who are now and always will be ‘test cricketers’! The passion in the voices and the memories (or lack of memories sometimes!) are great to listen to and are...”Read full review »

“I’ve always wondered about people who ‘only’ play one Test so am all over this. I’d never heard of Paul Parker so it was really fascinating to hear his story. Looking forward to the rest of the series.”

“Mark your cards folks this is a brilliant podcast. You'd be hard pressed to find a more thorough and passionate cricket journalist than Murgers. Don't put this one behind your ear to smoke later - listen to it now!”Read full review »
