Great to have Mark Butcher on the Podcast this week to talk cricket, music. Hendrix, Kohli, Farage and plenty more as he takes on the Cricket Badger 20 Questions...

The Cricket Badger, James Buttler, is joined by the world's greatest living cricketer Sir Garfield Sobers on this week's Podcast, but as you will hear the interview was mixed in its success. 

In fairness Sir Garry had been conducting interviews for two hours but a quest for him to answer the Cricket Badger 20 questions was given short shrift and a 20 minute interview turned into 13 of which only six makes the cut. But the six is good! It is after all a number he is synonymous with.

The Barbados cricket legends are touring to support Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc., promoting travel to Barbados to enjoy its rich cricket heritage which includes the famous Kensington Oval which hosts many local and major international tournaments, The Cricket Legends of Barbados Museum and Sir Garfield Sobers’ International Schools Cricket Tournament in Barbados in July. For more information please visit: www.visitbarbados.org. 

The disappointment with Mr Sobers approach should not diminish the Cricket Badger's support for anything to do with the wonderful island of Barbados. If you get the chance - go! Make some superb memories.
