Mark Richardson was a New Zealand test batsman, who has gone on to become one of the country's most sought-after broadcasters. 
 
He's one of New Zealand's best cricket commentators who's also been a host of the Crowd Goes Wild, Radio Sport breakfast, the Block, the AM Show and The Project. 
 
In this episode he talks to the guys from Between Two Beers about dealing with fame, arguing with Jacinda Ardern on live TV, his grumpy man persona on the Crowd Goes Wild, the full story of that viral video where Stephen Fleming "abuses" him, his slowest-loser running races after tests, his over-the-top celebration after taking his first, and only, test wicket, the realities of working on Breakfast TV, if he believes everything he says and much, much more.
