Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week.

This week, Mark and Hector were fortunate enough to chat with Emma Calvert, the Director of Women’s Cricket at Surrey County Cricket Club.

Emma provides a brilliant insight into the growing world of women’s sport, the recent professionalisation of women’s cricket, and the life of a Director of Cricket. Hear for yourself as Emma takes the hosts through just how much work goes on behind the scenes of a professional sporting outfit.

Mark and Hector discuss their observations of the week, centered around the bizarre scorecard from the first ODI between England and New Zealand, and Churchy gives a sermon on the use of technology in cricket.

And of course, thank you to our friends at Newbery Cricket for providing the ultimate cricketing prize for our weekly quiz.

Listen on to the end of the podcast to find out this week’s question, and send your answers to [email protected].

Episodes will be released every Sunday at 11 am, so make sure to make some space in your download diaries.

See you next week!
