Today's guest was the overseas player for Macclesfield during the most successful 2 years of the clubs history. Having helped the club win both the league and cup double in successive seasons, he went on to have storied career as a professional in Australia, culminating in his call up to the Australian national side during the 1997 ashes tour of England. Since then, he has established himself as a coach with various teams and franchises around the world. Widely regarded as one of the foremost glovemen of his generation, and described by his great mate, Shane Warne, as probably the best wicket keeper up to the stumps that I’ve ever seen in my time, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Darren Berry.
