As promised last week here is David’s review of Chris Arnot’s new book, which looks like a must have for the nostalgic amongst us.
CRICKET BOOKS

After a hedonistic stay in the Bahamas we are back, and will announce our Book of the Year next week. In the meantime Martin reviews the latest from the ACS Lives in Cricket series.
With the Review Team away in the Bahamas discussing the CW Book of the Year for 2011 guest reviewer Marco has been keeping the place ticking over.
This week Archie reviews the autobiography of the man who began his Test career opening the Australian batting with Arthur Morris, and ended it by doing so with Bill Lawry.
Recent tradition demands that for the first week of a New Year the Review Section is devoted to an overview of recent and forthcoming releases, so here it is.
In the week before our feature looking forward to 2012 is due Archie has decided to do some appraisals – fortunately Martin and David both seem to have passed.

This week Neil Pickup reviews an unusual cricketing autobiography, and one which it seems is well worth investing in.
To finish our look back at Peter Roebuck’s work David has been re-reading the account the then Somerset vice-captain wrote of his 1983 season.
