“As Toby freely admitted, this podcast is mostly b*llocks and nonsense. I have been listening to it since episode one. I would like to say it had improved in two years. I would really like to say that...
Toby’s humour, if you can call if that, would have to grow up SIGNIFICANTLY before it could qualify as puerile.
Finny gives every impression of a man who would rather gouge out his own prostate with a rusty fork than appear on a pod with Toby and Norcross. You can understand why.
Norcross, on the other hand, seems to be drunk much of the time. This, however, is the saving grace of the pod. His drunken, yet evocative and eloquently told stories about Douglas Jardine are bottled cricket history. His concept of World War 2 as an analogy of the English winter is the work of an unparalleled genius. Nobody who was sober and/or entirely sane could come up with that!
So listen: the cricket content may be thin on the ground and dubious at best. There are no quizzes, garden furniture shout outs, bilateral human being engagements, nerd pledges or even any sticky notes. But it works. Sort of. Some of the time. Almost.
A solid 5 out of an indiscernible larger number somewhere between 10 and 100.
