Ian Botham (who else?) is the iconic player under examination in the first ever episode. Gary Naylor debates the second half of Beefy’s career with three men who have all written books with or about the great man - veteran BBC cricket reporter Pat Murphy, cricket correspondent of the Sunday Times Simon Wilde and Peter Hayter, columnist at The Cricket Paper. The quartet also discuss the highlights and flashpoints of England’s controversial Caribbean tour against the mighty West Indies in early 1990, with fabulous on-the-spot insight and countless vivid Viv Richards anecdotes. The 80s and 90s Cricket Show is sponsored by Anderton Law. Get involved on Twitter (@CricShow80s90s). Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
