The Final Word with Ebony Rainford-Brent

Season 7, Ep 18: Ebony could have played a dozen sports. Cricket got her by chance. Now she's a popular commentator on Test Match Special, on the Surrey board, and is championing opportunities for black English kids in the game. She sits down with the Final Word for one of the most open and meaningful conversations we've had. Also this week: a Vinoo Mankad Appreciation Ten Minutes (bless the Under-19 World Cup), some more Nerd Pledge, and a whip around the cricket world from Pakistan to Zimbabwe to South Africa, with monkey attacks, Test tons, and the women's tri-series, as well as the Australian men's selections for the white-ball team. In the voices of the Backstreet Boys: Maxi's back, alright.
