Show Notes
It's Just Not Cricket
Teatime Declarations explores cricket through the lens of geopolitics: states and societies, war and peace, national and international affairs.
Episode 5 looks at the umpire. But really we shine a light on the tricky modern questions of trust in authority, the latest technological revolution, and the greyzones between laws and conventions.
Teatime Declarations is brought to you by Paul Seligman and Jonathan Russell. If you like this episode, listen back to our first four episodes too, tell us what you think, and subscribe so you get reminded of future episodes.
