** 4 Extra celebrates a Summer of Cricket with a collection of programmes throughout the week.**
Scottish sports writer Angus Bell's account of a cricket tour to unusual places.
It's a gloriously batty adventure involving fingerless fielders in the Czech Republic, Serbian MI6 agents and the realisation that England's most eccentric game is being played with passion in the strangest corners of the continent.
Taking his inspiration from an encounter with a psychic, young Scottish sports writer Angus Bell begins his tour with a cricket match on ice.
Abridged in five parts by Laurence Wareing.
Read by Robert Laing.
