Show Notes
What happens when one of England's most elegant batsmen returns to the rather less elegant cricket of his childhood?
Sir David Gower joins Voice of Siri - Jon Briggs and Radio Legend Whispering Bob Harris for a wonderfully entertaining journey from makeshift wickets to the Ashes, with a few unexpected detours along the way. There are old friendships, strong opinions, glorious memories and the occasional confession. And, naturally, another attempt to establish the laws of cricket that the MCC somehow forgot.
If you have a law that you used in your games in the playground or back yard - please drop it into the comments and it may well make it's way into the BGCC rule book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
