Centre Court - Sue Barker introduces five stars of cricket in the Royal Box

A galaxy of sporting greats in the Royal Box - Middle Saturday at Centre Court

 

On the middle Saturday of the Championships, the Chairman of the All England Club, Philip Brook, traditionally invites guests from the world of sport to the Royal Box - introduced by Sue Barker.

 

"Opening the batting for our sporting guests are five stars of cricket...

 

A player who captained England in more than 200 internationals, breaking countless records and putting women’s cricket on the map: Charlotte Edwards.

 

The current New Zealand skipper who was named Woman Cricketer of the Year for 2015: Suzie Bates.

 

Two bowlers who have led England’s attack over the last decade, and who have both topped the world Test rankings this year: Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad.

 

And a batsman who made more than 8,000 Test runs in his playing career, and is now renowned as a straight-talking commentator: Geoffrey Boycott." [Sue Barker]
