The Final Word with David Gower
Season 15, Episode 10: David Gower’s composure at the crease, combined with his perennially relaxed disposition, have contributed to a sense that he’s forever young. But it’s now the better of half a century since he pulled his first ball in Test cricket for four, going on to become, for a time, England’s leading run-scorer. A life in cricket has been his, but not at the expense of wider curiosity. It’s what has made him such a force as a broadcaster since hanging up the boots and, also, how effective he is as the long-term chair of the Lord’s Taverners. A great guest. Enjoy.
