Guests audio isn’t great

Content is good but the audio of guests is pretty poor
BicentennialHeel

Shame

Terrific guests and analysis. Marred by consistently poor audio, particularly with Ponting. Doesn’t anyone have access to a landline?
Not niche or tragic

Perfect

Sam Ferris is the perfect interviewer. So, when he is interviewing a player he is respectful and interested but he doesn’t grovel. He also doesn’t try & be too friendly with the players which other commentators are guilty of. One thing he is an absolute master of: he asks a question & then listens. He does not insert his opinions into the conversation. Really good place to get up to date on Australian cricket.

Appreciate the interviews

As an Aus fan in the US, I've developed a few trusted sources on cricket news from around the world. This podcast is a regular part of my rotation because it provides interviews with Aussies and that I wouldn't get otherwise. It's helpful perspective on my favorite team.

Par podcast

Appreciate the insights into Aus cricket from players et al, but for gods sake, please get a better phone line for Andrew Ramsey. He has good information but his daily reports are nearly inaudible. I hope for better audio during summer home series
