Peter Oborne & Richard Heller: A History of Cricket

In the 18th century, a vehicle for gambling; for the Victorians a way of keeping order in public schools, and defining ideas of manliness. In Full Circle Peter Oborne and Richard Heller chart the course cricket has taken over the last 350 years and ask, amid the dominance of franchise cricket, what comes next? The Fleet Street veterans join us to discuss their erudite, entertaining account of the game’s global evolution, taking in topics as varied as religion, railways, lawnmowers, media and empire.

Peter and Richard will be in conversation with Jon Ryan.
