Meet the 'batman' of cricket

from Stumped · host BBC World Service

On this week’s Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma we speak to the England physical disability cricketer Liam O'Brien who has swapped playing cricket games for computer games. Plus he also speaks to us about raising awareness of disability cricket and how he leads a double life selling golfing holidays during the day whilst being an England cricketer on an evening. The team are also joined by Ex-England wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor who has just signed for the Welsh Fire in the Hundred. She also tells us about her battle with anxiety, her coaching role at Sussex and ultimately wanting to be a wicket-keeping coach travelling around the world. And should substitutes be allowed in cricket?Photo: Liam O'Brien of England raises his bat after he scores 53 not out during the Physical Disability World Series 2019 semi final match between England and Afghanistan on August 13, 2019 in Worcester, England.
