09/07/23 • 39 min

In which Sue, Brian and Jules talk to Paul Toplis, Paul Stubbs and Carol Hughes about scoring visually impaired (VI) cricket at the 2023 International Blind Sport Federation (IBSA) World Games in Birmingham.

Mark Long joins the conversation to talk about scoring domestic VI cricket in the UK and if you want to try this yourself, please contact Paul Toplis on [email protected], as more scorers are always wanted in this format of cricket.
