In this episode of Close of Play, Sanjay Murthy is joined by Patrick Kidd — The Times journalist, columnist, and lifelong cricket observer — for a conversation that captures the wit, warmth, and wonder of following the England cricket team around the world.

Patrick shares stories from years spent on tour — the quirks of press boxes, the camaraderie of the travelling pack, and the surreal, often hilarious life of living the game day after day. From jet lag and Test match drama to deadline madness and the friendships forged over late-night copy, it’s a side of cricket rarely seen by fans.
He also recalls the moment he faced Jeff Thomson in the nets — one of the fastest bowlers in history — and what that experience taught him about fear, storytelling, and the lengths journalists will go to understand the sport they love.

It’s an episode about passion, perspective, and the peculiar joy of English cricket — seen through the eyes of one of its sharpest and most entertaining chroniclers.

Close of Play brings you closer to the game through the people who live it — players, broadcasters, and storytellers who reveal what cricket really means beyond the boundary.
