What's it like to coach Zimbabwe?

Alan Butcher spent three years coaching Zimbabwe and wrote a book about his experiences called The Good Murungu?: A Cricket Tale of the Unexpected.

It celebrates the country's beauty and energy - as well as the limitations of its cricket team. Butcher tells Stumped presenters Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma about a player not turning up for a match because he couldn't afford the bus fare, being chased by men in dark glasses, and why he was called the good murungu.
