Mark Nicholas's personal journey through cricket reveals why it really is the world's beautiful game.

Mark Nicholas, anchor for Channel Nine's commentary team in Australia and Channel 5's Cricket on Five show in the UK, has a unique knowledge of and perspective on the world of cricket.

As both a former player and now a professional observer and commentator, he knows all the key figures in the sport and has witnessed first-hand some of cricket's greatest moments. From epic Test matches and titans of the game like Lara, Warne and Tendulkar to his own childhood love for the sport, Mark gives us his informed, personal and fascinating views on cricket - and shows us exactly why cricket really is the world's beautiful game.
