“Just discovered this podcast – absolutely brilliant. Serious (makes a change these days) and very well informed.
The presenters come across as real people who care about the game- no 'self projection'.
Also there are no adverts – dreamland!”Read full review »

“I appreciate the in-depth discussions that happen in this podcast, and the discussion of the County Championship as well as international (England) cricket. But I get frustrated every episode by the often rambling answers to often rambling questions. Difficult to shake the feeling that the...”Read full review »

“Always a good listen - but could Miller and Alan take turns hosting perhaps? Enjoy listening to both of them but would enjoy Alan being allowed to speak for extended periods just as much (maybe even more so…)”

“Don’t know who the sound engineer is, or even if they have one. If they do he or she should be fired. Appalling sound. Sounds like only one person is miked up and you hear all his grunts and shuffles while struggling to hear the others.
Unacceptable for the world leading cricket site.”

“I’ve tried three times to listen to the pod on the first NZ test, but it’s rambling gibberish. Is their an editor? A plan? A direction? Just one example - listen to the question raised @ 12.50 in. 55 seconds later…”

“Why in 2022/3 does one of your full time contributors sound like he’s “small man in a box “ COME ON!!! For goodness sake you are ESPNCRICINFO. Don’t settle for poor, inaudible content. 😫😫😤”

“I find this cricket podcast to have some promise. The real problem is with Mr Dobbel he is soo biased and it’s hard to believe much he says. The concept is great but his involvement ruins the entire endeavour”

“I love this podcast for the insight provided by Mark Butcher, the Andrews McGlashan and Miller, and George Dobell (my favorite cricket writer).

“The best cricket podcast by a mile. George Dobell and Mark Butcher are the best cricket pundits around, I enjoy TMS/Tuffers and Vaughan but you get much better analysis on Switch Hit.

“A brilliant pod - only improved of late by David Hopps and the excellent George Dobell (Jonathan and Gnasher remain in situ and on good form). The guys know their stuff and care about the game.
