Zero Ducks Given
'Zero Ducks Given' is an irreverent look at the world of cricket - less about the stats, much more about the stories... From the highs to the lows and from the big nights out to the inevitable hangovers the morning after. Much loved former England and current Sussex cricketer Steven Finn will give insights from inside the dressing room. Joining him will be cricket-loving Radio X presenter Toby Tarrant and Test Match Special commentator Dan Norcross.
