has a segment with some interesting WI cricket history especially resonating with me because I, as an HC schoolboy and my classmate were let out early and were at one of the events discussed, Aus test in Barbados 1955 when Sobers ran amok...WI segment begins about 23rd minute

There is also an earlier segment with the WI 1950/51 tour to Aus which I listened to on radio...friends and I would walk to police station to listen to the commentary on Rediffusion at what for us was late (after 9PM until early AM)and cold (Carib winter)

Sobers does an interview and reminisces...
