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

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.
