Featuring special guest Daniel Norcross, from BBC Test Match Special, in the latest episode of Tales from The Oval Tom Holland (The Rest is History) and Jon Surtees (Surrey CCC) appoint their choice for the best ever (and worst ever!) Surrey captain.
You’ll have to listen to find out who they choose but their story stretches from The Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, encompasses one of the most controversial tours in cricketing history and features many era making clashes with conservative administrators from across the river.
Norcross also brings his perspective to the discussion, nominating his choice for Surrey’s worst ever captain and telling an extraordinary post-war story that, up until now, has remained hidden the pages of cricketing history.
Future episodes will be released every Wednesday, with episode 7 – coming on Wednesday July 3rd – talking about the incredible history of The Oval at War, featuring special guest James Holland, renowned Second World War historian and co-presenter of the popular podcast, We Have Ways of Making You Talk.
