Duncan Stone on English Cricket

This episode Geoff talks to Dr Duncan Stone about the history of English cricket. Duncan's new book, 'Different Class', examines how cricket in England has a long history of class and racial discrimination which continues to have an impact on the game today. The discussion looks at the difference in cricket culture between north and south, Duncan's own experience playing cricket growing up, and the Azeem Rafiq affair, which escalated during the final phase of writing up.
