sage Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 and it's raining. Hoping for play later but what a typically British start to the series. It did give time for a very powerful interview with Michael Holding, Nasser Hussein and Ebony Rainford-Brent. archram, SKRam, cstand and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insightful, educational and very needed for some people in cricket to hear. For those who missed it, this is the first bit. Most of the conversation afterwards has also been posted on Sky's cricket twitter page. Eddie, SKRam and cstand 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
