Great cricket writers – and capping the Pope
from Oborne & Heller on Cricket · host Richard Heller, Roger Alton, Jon Hotten, Matt Thacker

Is there too much of it by louche comic incompetents? These are among themes of a fascinating hour with two distinguished practitioners. Jon Hotten is the author of The Meaning Of Cricket, a collection of essays which illuminate … well, the meaning of cricket. Matt Thacker is managing editor of The Nightwatchman, Wisden Cricket Quarterly’s collection of fine cricket writing and publisher of Fairfield Books. They are the guests of the latest cricket-themed podcast by Peter Oborne and Richard Heller. Roger Alton is co-host in Peter’s unavoidable absence.Read the full description here: https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/episode-82-great-cricket-writers-and-capping-the-pope/Get in contact by emailing [email protected]
