Former England test bowler turned cricketing broadcaster Angus Fraser talks cricket with author and journalist Brian Viner in the return of our popular sports breakfast. Join Fraser and Viner for breakfast in the atrium of the King’s Arms Hotel and some discussion about the hot cricketing issues of the day. Conversation is sure to turn to the likes of match-fixing, the health of test cricket and the much-anticipated Ashes series next summer.
Fraser will also talk about his own career as a fast bowler for Middlesex and England. He played in 46 tests for England, including three Ashes series, with his best bowling figures of 8/53 coming in a match against the West Indies. He was cricket correspondent of The Independent for seven years and is a regular on BBC’s Test Match Special and a pundit on Sky Sports. He is currently managing director of cricket at Middlesex County Cricket Club. Viner is a former sports writer for The Independent best known for his long-running weekly sports interview. He is the author of five books including Ali, Pele, Lillee & Me: A Personal Odyssey Through the Sporting Seventies.
