Mark Alleyne is a warm and personable man. He also knows a heck of a lot about cricket!
Twenty one years a player with Gloucestershire, he tells me, with a smile on his face, that he's now been a coach for longer.
In this wide-ranging conversation we cover:
* The importance of alerting people to the fact first-class cricket is played in Gloucestershire.
* How clubs need to help schools in giving opportunities for kids to play cricket.
* How 'baz ball' is a media invention that created a inhibition and nervousness in England's players in the Ashes this past winter.
* The magic of The Cheltenham Cricket Festival and how it often determines the type of season the club has.
* Fears England selectors overlook Gloucestershire players when selecting squads.
* Mark's joy at his son Max making his Premier League debut for Manchester City.
I hope you enjoy this one. And I hope you're enjoying the spring sun.
Best,
Teddy
