Synopsis
Frank Tyson needs no introduction, either as a cricketer or as an author, so who could be more fitting to combine the two metiers and entertain as well?The author is in a privileged position to reveal the comic sides of his former colleagues and other 'greats' of cricket from all comers of the world, and these snippets range from personal foibles to downright tall stories.All those involved in cricket - bowlers, batsmen, wicketkeepers, umpires, coaches, spectators and broadcasters - come in for their share of l.b.w. - pulling and 'Typhoon's' raillery does not spare even himself. Ally the wit and irreverence to the interesting details about cricket's beginnings and daily occurrences and you have a book to appeal to all lovers of the game.
