It was the result of what Michael Atherton called 'hooptedoodle cricket' (a word borrowed from Elmore Leonard to mean meaningless or skippable prose) in the morning.

Getting off the train 'at' the Utility Bowl - that's your first mistake. Isn't it a good half hour away? Or an inconvenient bus journey... And my phone being 'invaded' by a cricket club's 'content' - heaven forbid!
Please! Don't mix Ashes chat with the Hundred... You must realise that they're like chalk & cheese to most cricket fans.
FFS no one wants to know about women's cricket. literally. no one. they can't get crowds unless tickets are given away or shown right after a men's game. stop it. boring as f***.
Would be nice if you covered major series like aus v ind instead of obsessing over unimportant tours like eng vs sl. Would get more local and international listeners.
It's too soft, especially Simon.
Great podcast but the sound mix is terrible. The adverts are so much louder than the presenters. I have to have the volume up 100% to hear them but then an advert comes on and is deafening!
the audio mix on this podcast episode is awful.
didn't take Sky long to jump on this crank fest of a bandwagon that everybody outside the bubble thinks is freaky. can't have twitter cranks upset can we.
the best podcast on cricket thoroughly enjoyed their take on a memorable summer
Please change the music. It's terrible!
A very interesting and sensible podcast, humorous without being silly. I enjoy it!
this is a very good show on everything cricket. the Simons are respected names in the cricket world , with their TMS role. this show has the TMS kind of authentic feel. keep it up gentlemen. You are my regular companians from my drive back from office in Riyadh, KSA.
