Batting on the Bosphorus: A Skoda-powered Cricket Tour Through Eastern Europe by Angus Bell (Omnibus)

Available for 30 days

Scottish sports writer Angus Bell's account of a cricket tour to unusual places. It's a gloriously batty adventure involving fingerless fielders in the Czech Republic, Serbian MI6 agents and the realisation that England's most eccentric game is being played with passion in the strangest corners of the continent. Taking his inspiration from an encounter with a psychic, Angus begins his tour with a cricket match on ice. Omnibus of five episodes abridged by Laurence Wareing. Read by Robert Laing. Producer: Kirsty Williams First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2008.
