# What Would Andy Zaltzman Do Without Cricket?! | Russell Howard's Five Brilliant Things

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Russell Howard.

This episode of Five Brilliant Things all comes from the brains of comedian and cricket statistics royalty, Andy Zaltzman.

The Ashes are on, so what better episode to pull from the archives than Andy? Can Russell convince Andy to go to a Water Park? And can Andy convince Russell to visit an Ancient Greek Citadel? It’s a tussle for the ages.

It is, frankly, a fiesta of culture. From obscure Ancient Greek plays to casting sculptures in bronze the depth and breadth of Andy’s magnificent brains are on full display. Oh, yes, there’s also a smattering of cricket chat. Just a smattering. About an over’s worth. 🏏

Andy is fast becoming a household name for his work on Test Match Special, but he is first and foremost an outstanding comedian with some of the most original, funny and brilliant satirical routines out there. So if you see him touring... GO! . Welcome to the official Russell Howard channel!
