Who only cricket know - West Indies vs England 1953/4

About this episode

Episode 58 is here! Riots, diplomatic incidents, bottles flinging, umpires beaten up, insular cuss outs...you really couldnt write a script this good. In 1953/4 Len Hutton's England side toured the Caribbean in a series widely regarded as one of the most controversial in cricket history. Yet until now no-one has written a comprehensive book on the series. Author David Woodhouse came to the CCP studios to dissect the series and talk through the tour with more of a Caribbean angle. You know that at the Caribbean Cricket Podcast we are big on West Indies cricket beyond the boundary and this talk/book is a political, social, cultural and economic tour de force. You'll want to pour yourself a cup of tea and really take this one in. If you'd like to buy the book do so at thenightwatchman.net for £19 + p&p with coupon code CCPWOC (use the discount code!).
