Season 16, Episode 27: He's one of the most impressive figures in the contemporary game, and not just because he's about six foot eight. Jason Holder was the youngest ever West Indies captain and did the job for six eventful years. He's now maintaining his commitment to the Test team to try to develop another generation of players. He also speaks with candour and insight about the issues that confronted him and the ones that confront the game more widely. An exceptional conversation.
