Interesting listening.

Ten years on from the black armband protest involving two leading Zimbabwe cricketers, Eleanor Oldroyd hears from those involved. Including an exclusive interview with England cricket coach Andy Flower who wore one of those armbands, a look at what has changed in the intervening years, and the current state of cricket in Zimbabwe.

Henry Olonga - I've been lucky enough to meet him a couple of times. One of the world's good guys.
