Description
Aussie cricket media allrounder, Melinda Farrell first puts the gang at ease on their own podcast and then proceeds to rock it with her inimitable brand of humour and her insights laced with empathy about the goings on in cricket across the men’s and the women’s games. She also traces the key events in her own career, reflects on how she started writing long form and explains how she’s such a natural in front of the camera too. There’s also her stellar performance at our carefully curated rapidfire questions and her recollection of the brilliant #PoliteEnquiries, a space on ESPNCricinfo she made her own.
