Ep 404 - Tommy Lamb - From Manchester to Melbourne in 125 Days

from The Paddock and The Pavilion - The Horse Racing and Cricket Podcast · host Stephen Wallis

An extraordinary cricketing adventure. At just 18, Tommy Lamb set off from Manchester with one goal: to reach Australia for an Ashes Test without getting on a plane. His journey began with the ferry to Holland and took him across Europe, through Iran, Pakistan, and China, and on into the Far East, facing challenges, risks, and unforgettable moments along the way before finally arriving in Australia. He came incredibly close to achieving that aim. This interview was recorded on the 17th of February. Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.
