Vic Marks

All roads lead back to the 1909 Ashes on Story Time of late, and why wouldn’t we want to visit again via Charlie McCartney’s tweak? That man is still firing 12 years later, a series that included a Dusty Old Bastard with a tough old name. Also featured: Curtly, Finny and a cheesemonger from Baltimore. Stick around to hear from one of our Final Word faves, Vic Marks. His Calling the Shots contribution focused on ins and outs of Test Match Special, the most famous comm box cricket has known.  Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:  4.61 – Clayton Lewis. 7.58 – Daniel Smith. 7.00 – Ciaran O’Kane & Renuka Satchithananthan. 2.27 – Joe Reinhard. 1.89 – Dale F.

This time around Rob and Michael are joined by cricket writing, playing and broadcasting legend Vic Marks! After a very successful playing career with Somerset and England, Vic became the cricket correspondent for the Observer, and has remained writing for both them and the Guardian ever since. A much-loved contributor to Test Match Special as well, it's safe to say that Vic is one of Michael and Rob's heroes. He came on the pod to discuss his recent book, Original Spin, and chat about his life in cricket over the past 40 to 50 years.
