It seems this is a miss rather than a hit, but still this review has me intrigued to see what Mr Fletcher had to say about those nasty Aussies.
CRICKET BOOKS
A book that has been sitting on my shelf for a long time, but after reading this review I will dust it off, and if Martin is right I will enjoy this quality offering.
A book with a difference, part cricket match, part adventure and part hedonistic paradise. It is certainly the best book cover we have featured on Cricket Web.
A modern cricket author, once described the writings of R.S. Whitington as ‘grating.’
A five star book from a very tough marker. I will certainly be ordering a copy of this one.
A new cricket book with a new idea, find out what Stuart and Archie think of ABCs newest addition.
The story of Harold Larwood is well known. An unassuming and very private man Larwood emerged from the Nottinghamshire coalfields in the 1920’s and went on to become the greatest fast bowler of his generation.
I have read every cricket book (not those specially commissioned for the children’s market) written by Ashley Mallett and Thommo Speaks Out in my opinion is his best effort since his much-acclaimed biography of Victor Trumper.
This is an excellent, and not unsympathetic, account of he life of Wally Hammond – a true great of the game.
I have been looking for a book on Grimmett for close to thirty years; yet I refused to buy this offering from the Australian off spinner of the sixties.
