In Part 2 of The Right League at the Right Time, author Mark Sands returns to continue the story of Sunday League cricket, covering the period from the mid-1970s through to the end of John Player’s sponsorship in 1986.
We are once again joined by Lawrence Hourahane (Glamorgan CCC) and former England international Roland Butcher, who share their memories of some of their most memorable matches in the competition.
Plus, as promised in Part 1, we reveal the name of the current BBC correspondent who wrote to Sunday League commentator Peter Walker as a young cricket fan.
