Memoirs of a Twelfth Man: 1: The Beast of Chardley

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A four-part comedy series by Anthony Crouch, dramatised by Christopher Scott.
The reek of linseed oil, the thwack of leather on willow and the discomfort of damp flannels. There is pride and pique on the pitch, and lust and loyalty in the locker room when Gussy Withers' cricketing tales have an innings.
