Description
We talk to legendary Australian captain and batsman Allan Border about his experience of touring the subcontinent in the 1980s - taking in the tied Test in 1986, the World Cup win in 1987, and the controversial tour of Pakistan in 1988.
Joining Border is veteran journalist Mike Coward, whose classic book - Cricket Beyond the Bazaar - we recently republished via 81allout Publishing.
