The program also features excerpts of a spirited debate between journalists Michael Elliott and Rickey Singh based on an Economist article written by Elliott. Finally, in cricket news, Hugh Crosskill interviews former West Indian fast bowler Sylvester Clarke, who was fined by his county club Surrey for unprofessional conduct in failing to show up for a critical match against Glamorgan | en_US |
