From Antarctica to Mount Kilimanjaro, we explore the unusual places people have played cricket in. Paul Daniels a member of a very special cricket team, the Captain Scott XI, joins us live on the show. The Captain Scott XI was captained by the late Harry Thompson, a TV producer and author of the cricket book Penguins Stopped Play. The team decided to try and play cricket on all seven continents which is documented in the book. Paul regales us with stories from their adventures playing cricket around the globe including in Antarctica where a group of penguins invaded the wicket to stop play.

They were all part of the 30-strong tour group and talk about their gruelling mission not only to reach the top of Africa鈥檚 highest mountain but also to play an ICC-certified game of cricket.
