Description
It's Just Not Cricket Teatime Declarations explores cricket through the lens of geopolitics: states and societies, war and peace, national and international affairs. Episode 5 looks at the umpire. But really we shine a light on the tricky modern questions of trust in authority, the latest technological revolution, and the greyzones between laws and conventions. Teatime Declarations is brought to you by Paul Seligman and Jonathan Russell.
