[@skiptracerbob]

Merry Xmas to you all, and thanks for the pods throughout the year. Always appreciated.

[@kalyanbond]

Everytime I watch this show, it brings a smile to my face. Great discussions, observations and insights for game (with minor disagreements). Thanks for doing this!

[@guyhornsby9572]

Love this. Great pub here. I've watched so much cricket in that pub!

Kate's "two favourite cricketers?. What are you, 11?!" To Phil was *chefs kiss*

I can't wait for England to come and visit us next year, so I can personally shake their hands for saving cricket by introducing BazBall. Makes me emotional every time I think of it.

[@TheSTEPHENMC5]

Just don’t come on day 4, as win or lose the lads will be on the golf course

[@Monty-xs7hp]

Maybe you should encourage some friends to go as your grounds are always empty 😂

[@MrTheviper99]

You might actually get some people in the stadiums for once when England come

[@VARMOT123]

@@MrTheviper99 you see the average attendance for the current series right ?

[@kiriakoz]

@@MrTheviper99I can only thank you so much. Thank you again for saving cricket, the Australian economy, thank you also for having the grace not to challenge for any of the major trophies and leaving it for the rest of us.

Moment of the year was the ending of that WI test win at the Gabba. A truly brilliant moment that will long be remembered. The NZ series win in India the best team performance.

Someone to try and out phil phil wasn't what i was expecting from this one but here we are!

[@RealistVK]

I love the openness, cheerful and equally respectful society (in general) of west.

Bumrah was the player of the year by a light year . won the t20 World Cup single handedly and has had generational year across formats

[@Ahmed_Fawad]

Both stokes and Cummins captained thr sides in 32 tests: Capt stokes win % after 32 tests = 59.38% Pat Cummins after 32 tests = 59.38%

The very notion of a 19yo having a debut on Boxing Day at MCG between 1 and 2 ranked nations...that is serious " chuck him in the deep end " stuff. I luv it. 90,000 people, 1-1 in the saeries....and the longest walk to the crease in world cricket. Even longer and lonely walk back. Plus hundreds of millions of Indians tuned in. Feel for McSweeney who i reckon did nothing wrong and has obvious talent and grit needing time....but this is a cool cricket story worth watching.

[@rossmenzies1484]

Phil drinking through a straw, probably posting pictures of such on Bluesky - it all adds up.

[@nicholasrowland9402]

Favourite player: Brook/Shamar Joseph Favourite match: Hyderabad win Gripes: The Hundred, England's openers, Jimmy being forced to retire

[@petercouz]

How would Buttler have faired under the Bazball era? makes you wonder......

[@mauriceroberts8491]

Rain in Brisbane, blame the ACB. Brisbane should always be the 1st test in November. Brisbane is sub tropical,and It always starts to rain in January. What were they thinking? ACB lost a lot of money, maybe a lesson learned.

[@TheSTEPHENMC5]

Except for using 15 words when 5 will do, Phil seems to be genuinely under the assumption that the average cricket viewer is a particularly opinionated Guardian reader, who thinks Alex Hartley’s continued employment is the height of progressive wonderfulness

[@christophermccaughran3253]

Absolutely terrible podcast delivered by three entitled individuals. Thank you for your podcast and good luck for the future but I will not be listening or watching in the future. An example of why cricket in England is in the state it’s in.

What great to see a beer drinking woman 😅
