“I’d love to hear an expert opinion on how to solve the issue of the predictability of white ball cricket. Every white ball game out of 7 in the recent Windies v England series was won by the side chasing!! And to all intents and purposes 4 out of 5 games in Australia v Pakistan series the same...”Read full review »

“Did I really just hear in this week’s episode that the McCullum / Stokes era’s record of 20 wins 11 losses and 1 draw is seen as successful, “the results are good”? Offering an alternative view is a drawn home Ashes series, a drubbing in India and now a loss in Pakistan! If the bar for the...”Read full review »

“Did I miss a discussion of the Scotland v Australia T20 series taking place this week in Edinburgh.
Very disappointing.

Compare and contrast with TMS. Some great recent discussions about the future of Test cricket. Maybe a new Test side is needed. What if Scotland joined...”Read full review »

“Look forward to these every week. Yas, Phil and Ben really know their stuff, and are totally fair, even when critical of something. As they are slightly longer episodes, can really go deep into specific niche aspects of cricket. I don’t have many friends who like cricket, so this is a real life...”Read full review »

“As an avid listening of Football Ramble too, I was excited for Kate Mason to join them a while back. It turned into a bit of a shambles, and I seriously worry the same thing is happened. Jack of all trades within the sports industry, and from experience, and master of absolutely none. Happy to be...”Read full review »

“A podcast as good as this does not need a stupid headline to attract people in.
How the hell can we judge whether this is the best ever T20 World Cup when it's only halfway through – unnecessary sensationalism.”Read full review »

Had a bigger chuckle when we got the chocolates. Good luck in the champions trophy lads if you make...”Read full review »

“Great point about Ashwin from MB. India not consistent and planning leaves players uncertain. Reminiscent of England in the 1990s for eg.
Ashes review thoughtful and insightful. Thanks guys.”

One slight negative, I dislike football immensely and I...”Read full review »

“at its best when butcher stops in; at its worst when talking of ‘diversity’.
the fellows frequently refer to the ‘county championship’—championship implying the highest standard. but county cricket has always been mediocre: too many matches, too many formats, too many doctored pitches”

“I was expecting clear, insightful reporting, however the standard of the podcasters is below average. Lots of uses of “like”, “you know” etc which shows the age range of the guys.
Maybe I’ve been spoilt by listening to the likes of Atherton, Hussain, Gower etc but from a respected brand such as...”Read full review »

I love this podcast. Geeky and nostalgic enough, a love of the romance of the game and good common sense as well.”

“The best cricket podcast by far in its coverage of English cricket’s racism scandal. The beeb and sky have both been cowardly and uncomprehending in comparison. In more general terms, if I had to have only one cricket podcast, this is it. Go Wisden!”

“Hello Wisden,
Love the pod and mag, both make my day.
I played my first indoor game and won. We batted first and I got about 20 in pairs cricket. But now I’ve got covid and listen to you everyday.
For everyone : Who is you’re favourite Aussie player?

Keep up the good work!”
