When Micah met Carlos - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Mark Chapman finds out more about Micah Richards and West Indies T20 World Cup winner Carlos Brathwaite.

The pair met briefly on the Monday Night Club, but here they have a chance to discuss their shared Caribbean heritage, love of football and the difficulty they both faced after their ‘career-defining’ moment.

We find out if either could have played any other sport and delve into their new jobs in punditry.

Plus, the pair try their hand at reading the football classifieds, and in a game of ‘This or That?’, we find out just how much they have in common.
