Paperback. Condizione: New. With one ball left of the World Cup final, England needed five runs to win. Mo stood in the middle of the pitch as Jos Buttler whispered in his ear: "If anyone can do it, it's you." Mo shook his head modestly and wandered back to the stumps. He tapped his bat twice on the ground and watched as Pat Cum…mins sprinted in: it was going to be a bouncer, he knew it would be a bouncer."Mo Akeel." Mo snapped back to reality. "Are you listening?" Ah. School. He nodded his head at Miss Joseph and tried to look interested. He glanced at the board and narrowed his eyes. Trigonometry. On a Friday.

Paperback. Condizione: New. What - you may ask is the point of an English perspective on French sport? In David Owen's own words,"you might just as well seek out a sea otter's take on kabuki". Nevertheless, having lived upwards of ten percent of his life in France, and a lot more than that immersed in French grammar, current aff…airs and culture,he offers exactly that in this entertaining new book.Drawing on examples from the past six centuries, the author explores sport's philosophical standing inFrance's cultural DNA; its role in the popularisation of the Republic; the birth of the Olympics, the Tour deFrance and the football World Cup; French pre-eminence at real tennis and truffle hunting; and - of course -'la difference' between British and French attitudes to sport.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Imagine if you had been watching Test cricket, in person, for 66 years. You'd have seen Mankad taking on Trueman and Laker, Compton and Edrich in their golden summer, and Lindwall and Miller showing off their sublime skills. You'd have watched the typhoon Tyson, the stoic Cowdrey, Dexter and May, the g…enius of Sobers and the great Indian spinners. You'd have witnessed those great classic batsmen, Richards, Gower and Cook scoring centuries. You'd have seen Hadlee, McGrath, Warne and Anderson steaming in. Under her gaze are the famous Englishmen of the 50s, piling on the runs and dominating with spin in perfect home conditions. Here are the controversies of the 60s: the throwing debate, the lethal pitch at Lord's, the banishment of the South African team. Here are the snarling Australians of the 70s, bouncing and bruising their way to the Ashes with Lillee and Thomson unleashed. Here are the wondrous West Indians of the 80s, sweeping all before them. The Queen witnessed it all - and this Christmas, you can relive every moment as she saw it.

Paperback. Condizione: New. When the first lockdown came, finding himself without cricket for the first time in his life, Geoffrey Boycott sat down and began to write a retrospective warts-and-all diary of each of his Test match appearances. It is illuminating and unsparing, characterised by Boycott's astonishing memory, famous…forthrightness and unvarnished, sometimes lacerating, honesty. That 100,000 word document forms the basis for Being Geoffrey Boycott, a device that takes the reader inside Geoffrey's head and back through cricket history, presenting a unique portrait of the internal and external forces that compelled him from a pit village in Yorkshire to the pinnacle of the world game. Now 81 and still one of the most recognisable cricketers England has ever produced, Boycott has teamed up with award-winning author Jon Hotten in this catalogue of his tumultuous time with the national side. Dropped for scoring a slow double hundred, making himself unavailable to play for England for several years, captain for eight seasons of a group of strong, stroppy and extremely talented players at Yorkshire, bringing up his hundredth hundred at Headingley against the Old Enemy, seeing David Gower and Ian Botham emerge as future greats, playing under Mike Brearley in the 1981 Ashes, in this enlightening book Boycott reveals a host of never-before-heard details regarding his peers and his playing days.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Who Only Cricket Know tells the story of the second most controversial tour in English cricket history after Bodyline and has not been revisited since two tour books came out in the immediate aftermath. The cricket is dramatic, the key characters fascinating, and it is awash with incidents on and off…the field, many of them involving race and social class. This was the first tour in which MCC travelled by plane (although they returned home on the boat) and the first in they were captained by a professional player - Len Hutton. It was also Hutton's Yorkshire teammate Fred Trueman's debut tour and for the opposition, the Three Ws were in their pomp and a young man called Garfield Sobers made his international bow.David Woodhouse has meticulously researched every aspect of the tour as well as carrying out a number of interviews, retaining the nuances and subtleties of the different levels of the story. He takes us through the lead-up to the tour, the warm-up games and the five Test matches, as well as the recriminations that took place both at Lord's and in the West Indies in the tour's aftermath.

Hardback. Condizione: New. He is one of the few English players with a first-class average of 40 or more not to have won a Test cap. But for a ruptured Achilles, he was told he would have been called up against West Indies in 1995.After retiring as a player aged 36, he forged a successful career as an international coach, with s…tints in a variety of countries including South Africa, Kenya, Scotland, England and New Zealand. As the Black Caps national coach, he led them to the ICC Champions Trophy final in 2010. His last major appointment was director of cricket for Afghanistan, where he coached for nearly six years until an MRSA infection in a toe led to the amputation of his left leg in 2020. Undeterred by the limitations of a prosthetic leg, he now coaches The Bahamas on a part-time basis.This is a heart-warming tale of someone revered for his positivity in the face of tough challenges and, at times, rotten luck.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Sports fans around the world were enthralled when Australia beat South Africa in that famous World Cup semi-final at Edgbaston in 1999. Among them, in a bar in Cyprus, were two holidaying Icelanders, Ragnar and Stefán. It was the first time they'd seen cricket, but they returned home determined to teac…h the game to their friends. They didn't know the rules, own any kit, or have a team to play against - but they were determined to form Iceland's first national cricket team.From Lord's to the Fjords is the uproarious tale of cricket in Iceland: how the national press believed a stag party from Oxford were the official England team, how Sky Sports accidentally sent a crew to televise an Icelandic Cricket Cup final that didn't exist, how the lead singer of Iron Maiden flew a passenger jet into a match under the midnight sun, how Henry Blofeld umpired in a blizzard on top of an ice cap, how the Iceland team was sold to the world's public and became a viral Twitter sensation (incurring the wrath of Jofra Archer), how an Icelandic 'mystery spinner' signed for an Indian Premier League team, how the Iceland team fulfilled their dreams by playing their first international match - and how historical evidence proves that the Vikings were absolutely, definitely playing cricket in the tenth.

Hardback. Condizione: New. With a burgeoning reputation as one of the fastest bowlers in the land, Ellcock's hopes of playing Test cricket for England were cruelly thwarted by injury. Plunged into depression and forced to pursue another career, a childhood interest in aviation was to be his salvation. Ellcock relocated to the US…A and qualified as a commercial airline pilot, becoming the first black captain with Virgin Atlantic. Ellcock's autobiography is unsparing and hard-hitting, revealing as it does a lifetime spent overcoming biases, prejudices and racism, not to mention being saved from death by receiving four life-saving brain operations in the space of eight weeks. Balls to Fly charts one man's extraordinary story of determination, endeavour and resilience. The book is a fascinating journey through the ups and downs of Ellcock's singular story, describing how. He used to be driven to school by the Prime Minister of Barbados. He rapidly went from bowling a cricket ball to his friends to earning a scholarship at one the UK's most prestigious public schools at just 15 years of age. The reaction of county team-mates when he turned up to make his first-class cricket debut whilst wearing school uniform. The cruellest of luck with injury sabotaged his hopes of playing Test cricket for England. The dedication involved in retraining as an airline pilot and the pride in becoming Virgin Atlantic's first black captain, as well as being in US airspace just before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. How he was saved from death by four brain operations within eight weeks. Biases, prejudices and racism, Ellcock is often excoriating and unflinchingly honest.

Hardback. Condizione: New. L'Escargot was a wonder horse, one of only two to have scaled the twin peaks of steeplechasing: the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National. He won on the biggest stages in Britain and Ireland - and on one of the biggest in the USA. His victories spanned nine seasons. He triumphed on the flat, over…hurdles and over fences, and at distances from two miles to the National's gruelling four miles and 856 yards.When he surged clear of Red Rum - the best Aintree horse ever - to claim victory in the National on that strange, anti-climactic day in 1975, it was one of the most dramatic acts of party-pooping in the history of sport. Yet, for those who had managed his destiny since 1966 from a base on the edge of The Curragh, it meant the fulfilment of a decades-old ambition.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Britain in 1926 was a troubled country. Revolution was in the air as the catastrophicafter-effects of the First World War continued. A General Strike in May soon ended, but it left a legacy ofbitterness and recrimination. Millions of workers across many industries were sacked or locked out, andcoal min…ing came to a standstill. Poverty was widespread, but it lived alongside plenty.Against this backdrop Australia's cricketers arrived to defend the Ashes that they had won decisively in allthree series since the war. Cricket in England, like everything else, was still recovering after the conflict.The whole population was desperate for success as interest in the matches transcended class and status.At every venue crowds queued all night to watch the Tests. They were rewarded with great individualperformances from some of the greatest players of all time - and it all went down to the wire. The Ashesdepended on the final Fifth Test, to be played to a finish. The country held its collective breath.

Hardback. Condizione: New. He begins this volume by reflecting on the idiosyncratic genius of Alan Gibson, whom he befriended in the writer's later years. With a foreword by Gibson's son Anthony, the join between the two books is perfect.From Brearley to Stokes, there is almost more change in cricket and society in the 46 years…covered here than in the 102 years spanned by the previous volume - and there are just as many characters and incidents. How could it be otherwise with a cast list that includes Ian Botham, David Gower, Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen? In his own gentle and ever perceptive way Vic Marks tells the story and reflects on the successes and failures, providing a quiet treatise on captaincy.Where Gibson ended by questioning whether Test cricket would survive a further 100 years, Marks strikes a more upbeat note, suggesting that no-one in recent decades has done more than Ben Stokes 'to keep a format, still beloved by so many, alive.'Published as a matching pair with Gibson's original volume, it contains 16 pages of photographs and an11-page appendix of biographical notes.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The golden age of this type of story has now passed. The reasons are obvious. Chief among them is the earning power of top players, both from central contracts and on the franchise Twenty20 circuit, as well as the fact that international and franchise schedules increasingly impinge upon the UK summer.…These stories are not entirely obsolete, however, although they will most often involve players taking their first steps on the road to superstardom, future stars before they became household names. Then there are players in the twilight of their careers, if not former stars then certainly with their highest peaks behind them. And between the springtime baby steps and the autumnal last knockings, there are a clutch of chapters involving cricketers in their high-summer pomp, living legends treading the league cricket boards. These magical stories are unique to cricket. And yet no one has collected them in one place. Until now.

An attacking and often thrilling batter who amassed more than 17,000 runs and18 centuries in professional cricket, he will forever be remembered as a cricketing trailblazer but this new book is about much more than his most famous achievement.

Charting and exploring his Barbadian roots, moving to England, the highs and lows of representing England, his ongoing battle against prejudice, his return to Barbados and his life beyond cricket, Breaking Barriers is an honest and thoughtful memoir that offers fresh insight into one man's unique career and the era in which he played.

From coaching cricket at a local school to winning the West of England amateur bodybuilding title three times - whatever Syd has set his mind to achieving, he has usually done so with great skill and a flourish.However in June 2024, Syd was forced to accept a fresh challenge, and one that he simply can… not over come. Following months of inconclusive tests in a Bristol hospital, he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Already left without the use of his legs, he had to face a new reality that would mean a deterioration across the rest of his body, a loss of independence, the requirement of carers, and gradually the loss of his voice. For a once power fully built athlete with booming voice to match, this was a particularly cruel fate, knowing all his physical abilities would be stripped away from him bit by bitBefore his voice disappeared completely and he was forced to rely on a voice bank for communication, Syd committed to telling his extraordinary life story. This book is the culmination of that decision, detailing the most recent months since his diagnosis, alongside the memories of his 61 years so far - a life well-lived, full of surprising stories.
