180: Sir Geoffrey Boycott - Opening up on a long life in cricket Part ONE

from Cricket Badger Podcast · host Cricket Badger Podcast

Sir Geoffrey Boycott, one of the finest batsman England has produced and a popular voice on commentary for 30 years, joins James Buttler in one of the most comprehensive interviews you will hear. PART ONE: From falling in love with cricket to being flawed. From batting with his boyhood hero to winning majors as a golfer. From Man Utd to his 100th Hundred. His lowest moment as a player, being Virat Kohli, four-day Tests, slow over-rates and one-day cricket. How important is popularity, being Knighted and that French conviction. PART TWO: Meeting Nelson Mandela and wishing he could meet Martin Luther-King, how he's missed commentary and coming 2nd in #GOATcommentator. Richie Benaud's commentary advice. Getting through cancer, his love for his family, being in the public eye, Bodyline and batting against pace. Racism in cricket and Azeem Rafiq's allegations against Yorkshire CCC. His biggest regrets. Thank you very much for listening and supporting the podcast!  Contact the show via Twitter on @cricket_badger or email us at [email protected]. Learn more about your ad choices.
