“With the current world game anchored by references to the games’ rich past, Hughes and Mann, balanced and precise, vastly experienced and informed, are always listenable.
Hughes’ advert voiceovers are cringeworthy, flogging herbal teas and the like with great insincerity.”

“Time to give up on this cricket podcast. Apart from the dull delivery, the hesitancy with which the Simons offer criticism of certain English players has made it an unbearable listen. Root being a prime example. Apparently getting out to a catch by a fielder specifically placed at leg slip for...”Read full review »

“This is the best cricket pod imho - the two Simons are informed, sensible, reasoned and articulate. They cover cricket around the world in all its forms touching on a wide range of issues. They entertain without grandstanding or bias and do so with real intelligence. Thanks chaps! Keep them...”Read full review »

“Especially after a day's play. And they have some great guests/discussion. I buy the Cricketer magazine too (although this is easier to digest/keep on top of) although never get through it on a timely basis, but it seems a fair quid pro quo. If I had one complaint, it would be that sometimes...”Read full review »

“Come on boys you can do better! Long words from yozzer don’t cut it and Simon M. please have clarity of thought on your opinion. Listened to all your podcast but content is less and lacking punchy independent opinion. Let’s hear from you, not bland reporting of events. Kingy of Box”

“I used to enjoy the insights and cricket knowledge, but I’m afraid that I’ve unsubscribed due to the promotion of betting firms. I understand the necessity of advertisers to make podcast production viable, but I don’t think it’s a good choice.”

“I’m getting the feeling that SH is now coasting along on this show (off the back of SM). Not a lot of analysis. Hardly anything on the county game. Selling NFTs. The use of the word ‘actually’ in every sentence. The Wisden cricket podcast is much better at the moment. At least there’s some...”Read full review »
