Cricket Badger Podcast

Author Colin Babb is the guest on this edition of the Cricket Badger Podcast as he joins James Buttler to talk about his new book '1973 and Me - The England v West Indies Test Series and a Memorable Childhood Year'.
To write the book, Colin spoke to Dennis Amiss, Clyde Best, Harold ‘Dickie’
Bird, Keith Fletcher, Maurice Foster, Lance Gibbs, Colin Grant, Frank Hayes,
