“What is more frightening?  Facing the quickest bowler in the world in front of 30,000 people or walking into a crack den in South Central Los Angeles?”
 


That’s just one of the questions host @tonybishop1 discussed at Edgbaston with Paul Smith, hero of @WarwickshireCCC 1994 treble winners.  The latest Guerillashire Podcast from @guerillacricket is here!
 


Paul was part of the all - conquering Warwickshire side of the 1990s under Bob Woolmer. However, he also holds the US Certificate of Appreciation for his ground breaking work using cricket as a force for good with gangs in the most notorious areas of Los Angeles. He advises the Princes Trust, is a motivational speaker, broadcaster and a published author whose book ‘Wasted’ was described by one reviewer thus..“Not so much a kiss-and-tell, as kiss, have casual sex, get stoned, drunk, divorced, unemployed, homeless, penniless and tell.”
