Barry Richards Interview
South African batting maestro Barry Richards is the podcast guest for the latest episode at CWAA. He joins host Saqib Ali for a candid deep dive to relive some of his cricket and administrative days. Richards is considered one of the true batting giants of the game - his stints at Hampshire and South Australia are stuff of batting folklore. He also looks back at the only test series he played against the Bill Lawry led Australian side. We also discuss that Golden hour of the Durban test in the same series where he and Graeme Pollock put on a display for the ages among other things.
