Left Arm Spin Special: Ashley Giles.

from Tailenders · host BBC Radio 5 Live

The King of Spain, Ashley Giles, is our special guest on this week’s Tailenders. Inevitably we travel back to the 2005 Ashes series - the greatest series of all time - but also reflections on the highs and lows of professional sport, the genius of Richie Benaud, bowling to Brian Lara, the Art of Spin and the challenges of running Worcs CCC. Plus Mattchin has a new feature ‘Village People’ as he seeks to discover the underbelly of Village Cricket.

The Send Off The Send Off Club cricket, at its heart, is a social sport, played by eleven individuals that dreamed of being elite sportspersons. Some, still do. And in this village green battle of middle aged dreamers and county schools teenagers, nothing is sweeter than getting out a batter and giving them a volley of emotion - and probably swearing. Some are more successful than others, they might make your teammates laugh, the batter throw a tantrum or fire up the tailenders yet to come in; but nothing will beat that moment, The Send Off.
