An autobiography about a player I must admit I cannot remember reading about, however after the meritorious review from Martin I will try and locate a copy.
A book that has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time, and one that I keep meaning to read, now that I have read Martin’s review it may sit there for awhile longer.
In this feature we take a look at the career of Graeme Hick, and try to work out why the man whose entrance to the international game was so eagerly anticipated, failed to match up to the nation’s expectations.
Another Chalke book and another five star award from Martin. As I have read this offering, I have to say that I am in complete agreement with his assessment.
Before 20-Twenty, an innings like that played by Alletson, was unique and still now, reading about it as described by a fine writer starts the blood flowing.
Thirty years on David Tossell wrote the story of the 1976 West Indian summer. His account of “that session” is a modern classic and a fitting conclusion to Brian Close’s story.
