'One-over cricket is the future'
The reincarnation of Phil Tufnell, the age at which cricketers average the highest, a super one-question quiz, more stats than you can shake a stick at, lies about cricketers, and the first in the Annoying Things About Cricket series

Frikkin' hilarious..."Hearing that he's been hitting fewer sixes than Kallis is like hearing that Warren Beatty has been sleeping with fewer women than Elton John. Roughly." - epic.
"Smith called legs" - hahaha!!
ha ha "smith called 'legs'"--oh, that SA tournament jinx... priceless; I disagree with a comment above--no need to "keep it short"--no question of exhausting us listeners--the quality of your podcasts stays very high always, regardless of length--I end up listening to each podcast multiple times because they're all packed with so much good stuff.
Instead of the hassle of teams having to come out again for a super-over, why can't we make it much simpler and much more entertaining: get the two umpires to pick a team each out of a hat, and then let the umpires have a bowl off. First one to land it on the pitch wins (as long as Paul Reiffel chooses my team!!).
Love the idea of 2 world championships in the one day ... that means the defending champions would actually be the defending champions, not a team of 11 different players who happen to be wearing a similar uniform.
"is like hearing that Warren Beatty has been sleeping with fewer women than Elton John. Roughly. " .. got me crackling. Yet another podcast filled with intelligence,wit and slapstick humor.
Awesome Andy! your the best. I never miss your confectionery stall posts or podcasts.
Why stop at 1 over -- how about 1 ball or even half a ball ??
Ridiculous -
good stuff mate, I laughed out loud at some of the stuff. but try to keep it short and sweet. that way you maintain the most quality stuff and don't exhaust the listener
Where do I find your podcast on iTunes?
39???????????? i hope kanhai, sobers and gooch are those

Im not sure about one over cricket - what about those boring middle balls. I think 2 ball cricket would be much better. And if that gets boring we could just do the toss.
