Season 13, Ep 5.2: Not many people have a more varied cricket story than Ryan Campbell. A wicketkeeping-batting pioneer alongside Adam Gilchrist, a part of Australia's greatest era, an early retiree, a life in Hong Kong that culminated in playing for a second country, years coaching and forming close bonds with a third in Netherlands. After a near-death experience this year, his Dutch career is ending in Australia at a World Cup, as he comes to terms with the recent past and works out what might be next. A wonderfully open interview with Ryan Campbell.
