Local cricket, score by score.
REDDERS Sports Podcast tracks local cricket with a scorebook-first rhythm. Results, partnerships, bowling figures, selection talk, rules quirks, weather, and finals permutations all feed into plainspoken judgment about who is in form and what changed.

REDDERS Sports Podcast is a local cricket show that treats a scorecard as the starting point, not the summary. It lives in the details. David Redden and a changing group of voices move through lower grades, first grade, semi-finals, grand finals, ladder movement, rules, rain, grounds, and player form with the pace of people trying to keep up with a busy cricket weekend. The show often begins with a result and widens from there. A side makes a modest total, a chase gets home, a player grinds out runs late in the order, or a bowler takes a decisive haul, and the conversation turns immediately to meaning. Who changed the game? Which wicket mattered? Was the total enough? Could a different competition format work? Those practical questions give the podcast its shape. It is most vivid around finals cricket, where every innings feels heavier and small passages decide seasons. There is plenty of local shorthand, and the show expects the audience to follow names, grades, clubs, and venues without a long warm-up. That is part of its character. It sounds close to the game, not above it. The tone is friendly but not soft. Strong performances get called as such, poor positions are named plainly, and close finishes are allowed to feel dramatic without turning into hype. The show also makes room for the weather, travel, live scoring, football asides, and the ordinary logistics that surround community sport. Those side paths do not pull it away from cricket for long. They place the matches in the world they actually happen in. REDDERS Sports Podcast suits listeners who want serious attention paid to local competitions, especially finals, grades, and player performances that broader sports media would never cover in this much detail.
Made for: For cricket followers who care about club results, finals scenarios, player form, and the small match moments that alter a season. It especially suits listeners already comfortable with scorecard language and local competition shorthand.
What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its immediate, granular read of local cricket: totals, spells, partnerships, venues, rules, and ladder stakes all get connected quickly. It feels close to the grounds and clubs rather than packaged from a distance.
Talking sport! Cricket, NFL and AFL.
The ladder gets forensic treatment here, so you can arrive at local cricket finals fully briefed.
