In this episode of the show we speak with prolific author and journalist Ken Piesse about his life around the game and all the fascinating players he's had the opportunity to meet and work with along the way.Ken shares stories about cups of tea with Keith Miller, reminiscing with Bill Ponsford, writing a book with Max Walker and Neil Harvey's footwork, as well as Sir Don Bradman as we fire questions Ken's way about some of the greats of yesteryear.Ken also shares his views on the future of the game, and there's even a chat about Bert Sutcliffe and a special offer for all the New Zealand listeners out there. We could have spent hours listening to Ken tell stories, and we've no doubt this episode will make you want to book a P & O cruise just to hear more of his yarns. You can find out more about Ken and all his publications, as well as purchase books from his vast collection, at cricketbooks.com.au. Mention that you listened to this episode and Ken will provide free shipping to New Zealand for any of his books.We'll be back again soon to discuss the goings-on in the world of cricket, along with another interview from our trip around the New Zealand domestic provinces.
