  • Episode 14 - Exclusive chat with Rory Burns
    Jan 24 2026

    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.

  • Episode 12 - CEO of the MCC Foundation, Angus Berry
    Jan 11 2026

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

    This week, Mark and Hector are joined by the CEO of the MCC Foundation, Angus Berry. Having set up his own non-profit organisation to help sports clubs engage with their communities, Angus has always wanted to make the game more accessible and harness its unifying powers.

    Now, as CEO of the MCCF, he talks through the Foundation’s incredible plans to facilitate accessibility with great social impact, with a focus on the Barclays Knight-Stokes Cup and Cricket Unites.

    Also on the episode, Church and Vickers launch a thrilling new segment (in place of observations). The duo kick off “Whose cricket book is this?” in spectacular fashion.

    Churchy pens a strongly worded letter in this week’s sermon.

    A huge thank you to Angus Berry for joining us on this week's episode - it was fantastic to hear about the phenomenal work that goes on at the Foundation, and how people can get involved.

    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.
