Nicholls barry (99 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A reflection on Barry Nicholls' life, Second Innings, explores the author's struggle with mental health and the road to recovery, using his love of the game of cricket to make sense of it all.Set partly in the present, Second Innings includes flashbacks through five decades of life and focuses particularly on the lives of the men across the generations of Barry Nicholls' own family, and tells the story of Barry's journey from teacher to print journalist to broadcaster. Second Innings shows what can happen when long-term unresolved anxiety takes hold and it demonstrates the value of finding compassionate and understanding medical professionals who provide a path toward the light when all seems lost. As Greg Chappell helps teach this writer, in life there is always a second innings. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the early 1970s cricket was on the precipice. Apartheid South Africa was barred from competition, and the 1970/71 Ashes series in Australia had been uninspiring - more a battle of attrition than an enthralling contest. Test-playing nations were opting for risk-averse and often tedious Test cricket.In April 1972 the inexperienced Australians, labelled the worst team ever by the English press, arrived in England full of swagger. Their newly appointed captain, Ian Chappell, announced they were playing to win. The intriguing Ashes series that followed, and the simmering disquiet about how the game was being administered, transformed Test cricket. No longer would cricket be played to stultifying draws but instead with a desire to win - no matter what was at stake, including the Ashes.Playing to Win evocatively captures the story of that northern English summer, a series that, thanks to Ian Chappell and his team, shaped the modern game.
