The Sport Blokes

The Sport Blokes

A weekly sport podcast by fans for fans (with a focus on basketball, cricket and football). As well as regular episodes on recent news and involving interviews, other episode topics include: great sport chokes, sport curses, sporting families, revisiting old drafts and more! We’ll cover anything but we have a strong love for NBL, NBA, NCAA, AFL, NFL, test cricket, ODI, T20I, BBL, WBBL, Sheffield Shield, IPL, tennis, WNBL, WNBA & ALFW (not the Hundred because that sucks).
