James Buttler, the Cricket Badger, meets former Worcestershire and Middlesex fast bowler Ricky Ellcock. Described by a few batters in the late 1980s as the fastest bowler they'd faced, Ricky's career was cut short through injury.
He left the pitch to take to the skies, becoming a pilot and the first black captain with Virgin Atlantic. His new book 'Balls To Fly' chronicles his life and you can get it for the reduced price of £15 (for a limited time only) if you quote the discount code BadgerFly at https://www.thenightwatchman.net/buy/balls-to-fly-pre-order
