Listen now
Description
The Shortest Book Teatime Declarations explores cricket through the lens of geopolitics: states and societies, peace and conflict, diplomacy and disagreement. In episode 6, we go to Lord's to visit the Cricket and the Jewish Community Exhibition at the MCC Museum, and explore Jewish contributions on and off the field. We cover famous Jewish players, the emergence of cricket in Israel, current controversies, cricket as a potential unifier, and the key to Jimmy Anderson's success. Teatime Declarations is brought to you by Jonathan Russell and Paul Seligman.
