The Final Word with Mark Butcher
Added 2021-03-11 05:41:50 +0000 UTCSeason 9, Ep 24: At least one England cricketer came back from India with reputation enhanced: Mark Butcher, who was noticed for an excellent couple of Tests behind the microphone. His life before commentary included 71 Test matches, with a series of dramatic highs and drastic falls. Beyond cricket, he's a musician, a considered thinker, and someone who believes in the moral obligation to speak up for others. On The Final Word this week, a long conversation with Mark about life, family, and the wider world. Before that, our usual round-up of the cricket week.

Time to visit a walk-up start for the Clem Hill Defenestration Club, one Charlie Parker. Via the president of the Internet Cricket Club, as it was in the beginning. Checking weather conditions on Kunanyi. Doing a medical check on the Boer War, while finding another totally different club that Clem was part of. And tracking down a 140-year-old coincidence.
