Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week.

This week, Mark is joined by one of the greats of our game. He's captained Surrey to four County Championship titles over the last seven years, and has the small matter of 14,122 First Class runs to his name.

He doesn't tend to sit down for long interviews, but Churchy's managed to collar him into one today - his day, in fact - Burns night.

Rory Burns joins the pod discuss his journey into cricket, look back on his incredible career thus far, and look forward to future aspirations within the game - including the potential of an England call-up.

Also on the episode, Church and Vickers continue their new segment - “Whose cricket book is this?” - and Churchy delivers a sermon about the numbers of days until the new season begins.

A huge thank you to Rory Burns for joining us on this week's episode - an incredible player with some brilliant advice for anyone pursuing a career out in the middle.

Another big thank you goes to our friends at Newbery Cricket, who are offering up a pair of Newbery 360 Shoes for the lucky winner of our weekly competition.
