Stuart ，

This is good for some light-hearted anecdotes but it never seems to work out what it wants to be。 Some players are included because they are genuine characters， others merit a place because they are widely accepted as great players。 There are many books about the latter already， sticking with the former and casting light on some obscure or forgotten parts of the game might have resulted in a more interesting read。The ghostwriting is somewhat limited， too often it reads like an unedited transcrip This is good for some light-hearted anecdotes but it never seems to work out what it wants to be。 Some players are included because they are genuine characters， others merit a place because they are widely accepted as great players。 There are many books about the latter already， sticking with the former and casting light on some obscure or forgotten parts of the game might have resulted in a more interesting read。The ghostwriting is somewhat limited， too often it reads like an unedited transcript， especially the later chapters where every other sentence starts with "Think back to。。。"。 The more interesting chapters are definitely those about some of the older county and club players Lloyd has met， and these are probably the highlights， where the anecdotes are a vehicle to discuss how the game has changed。 The later chapters about recent and current England players seem tagged on to maintain relevancy among a newer cricketing audience。 。。。more

Light hearted ramble about cricketers Bumble has played with， coached or met。 Enjoyable if you haven't got better things to do， like watch or play cricket。 Light hearted ramble about cricketers Bumble has played with， coached or met。 Enjoyable if you haven't got better things to do， like watch or play cricket。 。。。more
