“Yes... I am addicted to the World Cricket Show.
Living as I do in San Francisco, there's not a whole lot of cricket news options here. Adam Bayfield and Tony Curr provide an irreverent look into the world of cricket, though they are somewhat England-centric, which can be excused since they are in fact English and record the show in England.
Besides the usual scores and stats, Adam and Tony also look at the funny and often ridiculous world of professional cricket - the legal problems, the flame wars, the sponsorship battles, the scandals, the rumors. In fact, this makes up the bulk of the podcast.
The show is particularly fun to listen to during the IPL season, when listeners can join in the fun by drawing a team out of the hat, and sledging between them and the listeners is not only welcomed, but encouraged.
Also fun are the listener competitions; past contests have included a cricket haiku competition, and a strapline competition for their website.
Being a lifelong fan of British comedy, it's a nice intro to the world of cricket for me. The show reminds me a bit of "When Saturday Comes" - the comedy football magazine that I'm guessing still exists - that pokes fun at all aspects of the game from the perspective of the average working fan, and not some long-winded sportscaster, statistician, or mumbling ex-pro.
Give it a listen. The show is sort of on a low ebb at the moment (sorry guys) but that's really because there isn't much going on in cricket at the moment. The Ashes and the start of IPL4 will no doubt showcase Adam and Tony at their best.”Read full review »

“If you want an edge of your seat thrill ride of cricket punditry then you have come to right place. The high octane, hold no bars segment on what Tony did that week. And the weeks side notes are totes cray cray. Get on board cause these two are blowin up right now. Great show”

“Often hilarious, on occasion factual, and from time to time completely ridiculous. The sort of cricket podcast Shane Warne wishes would invite him on as a guest...”
