    Graham Woodward is known to many as the Voice of England Cricket and Lord’s, a presenter whose work is a familiar part of the matchday experience for supporters across the game. In this episode of The Paddock and The Pavilion, Graham reflects on his journey from being asked to move a car at a Sussex game to working at the Home of Cricket. Along the way, he shares insights into some of the biggest moments in the game, including Ashes contests and the 2019 Men’s World Cup Final. Graham also offers a behind-the-scenes look at a typical working day, explaining how preparation, style, tone, and vocal projection all play a crucial role in his role. He discusses how his approach adapts depending on the format whether it’s the rhythm and tradition of a Test match, the pace of a county game, the energy of a T20 Blast fixture, or the fast-moving entertainment of The Hundred. Beyond cricket, Graham highlights the variety in his career, with experience commentating across horse racing, greyhound racing, and motor racing. A fascinating insight into the craft of sports presentation and the voice behind the game. Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.
