Tony Pigott is perhaps best remembered as the man who postponed his wedding to play for England. But that is just a very small part of his quietly extraordinary story.

The Last Hour S1 E9: Skin in the Game ft. Scott Oliver
Jamie has a side strain, and our guest - author Scott Oliver - once had an injury too, which he tells us about whether we want him to or not. But we'll let him off as he also shares fascinating anecdotes from the weird and wonderful world of international cricketers plying their trade in the club game. Also features Dressing Room 101, Stump the Hosts and more.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dave 'Syd' Lawrence over the weekend. Motor Neurone Disease really is the cruelest of illnesses.

It was an honour to help Syd publish his autobiography and we wish there could have been a happier end to his extraordinary story.
