Watching England collapse earlier today I suddenly remembered an old post on The Corridor (Will Luke’s blog) which had this tremendous photo (taken by Sean) in it.

Yesterday, I posted an interview with Imran Khan for CNN’s Connected the World.
Another former cricketer – Zimbabwe’s Henry Olonga, not so much a cricketing legend, but an incredible brave man – was supposed to be on the show last week, but alas …

Good luck!

So today, I want to ask you a simple question:
