Introducing one of England's most fearsome bowlers - David 'Syd' Lawrence. Syd was just bursting onto the test scene with England before a horrific patella - shattering injury brought his career to an immediate halt. 

During this podcast, Syd takes us on a journey upon which there are some scintillating highs as well as some desperate lows.
