What If ... One Day Cricket Had Flopped?

on Radio 5

The first of three programmes in which Julian Worriker looks at some of the biggest bones of contention in sport. In 1962, cricket was in crisis. In an attempt to salvage the plummeting attendances, an experiment was tried - limited overs cricket. What is the result 32 years later? Batsmen who can't play straight, bowlers who can't swing it and crowds with no patience ... but also fielders who'll stop anything and a game with plenty of money.
