"The beauty of The Grade Cricketer is he is more than a grade cricketer — he is every cricketer, from the park to the SCG. His insights into the game make people laugh mostly because they reflect every cricketer’s unspoken convictions. We all live vicariously through him, as he does us."

"The Grade Cricketer has taken us so far inside a district club dressing room that you feel like a locker. Ligaments could not be closer to the bone than some of his observations."

"Since they began in 2016, The Grade Cricketer’s Ian Higgins and Sam Perry have gained myriad fans for their satire of the macho Australian. In 2021, they remained more regularly hilarious than anyone else, especially when lamenting the death of anglospheric dominance…Higgins and Perry are models for how to broaden appeal and interest at the same time."

"Boys!"
