Uncomfortable

Simon Mann comes across rather overtly sexist.

Not Test Match Special

Why is my feed being overwhelmed by games that are not Test Matches?

No Balls podcast

Please separate off the crude and self-indulgent No Balls podcast from the actual TMS one. Or, better yet, have a proper podcast focusing on women’s cricket with well-informed, well-spoken women presenters. Thanks!

Calypso Collapso

With the departure of their best commentators in the space of just a couple years, TMS seems an increasingly threadbare production. Experienced, cogent insight into the game has been replaced by superficial and banal chatter guaranteed neither to offend nor to enlighten. This podcast compasses the very best TMS can offer, in the form of Aggers' post-match reflections and interviews, but even that has become a very cut-down affair as well, with the best of the newer additions to the rota (like the inestimable Dan Norcross) now rarely heard. And to make matters worse, the BBC has begun geoblocking the podcast outside of Britain. Geoblocking a podcast that is released worldwide! Absurd.

Norcross

Get rid of Daniel Norcross. Very annoying.
Clover beech

Too many ridiculous stats

Love the usual bits of the podcast but please , MUCH fewer of the irrelevant stats. Seems like you’re just trying to use up time
Chfytg

Why change the format

Who are the two idiots on TMS now??!! Just stick with Aggers and Co out in Sri Lanka. You are ruining a normally great Pod

Nothing better

Nothing better than TMS to round the day off. Glad it's back on iTunes.

Great Poscast! Love it.

Top class, always a pleasure to listen to Aggers and Boycott.
Lonestarjs

Best cricket podcast on iTunes

Aggers, Boycs, and the top players of the day. How can it get better? OK, maybe if they added Bumble as 3rd man...
