This is a gentle ramble through Northamptonshire cricket, through
the fields of maroon and gold. There are plenty of signposts along
the way, pointing at the big players and stopping off at some of
the big matches that, between 1974 and 2013, have been part of
Northamptonshire's cricketing map. From the author's first
introduction to life at Wantage Road, right through to the Twenty20
coronation at Edgbaston - only the fourth major trophy in
Northamptonshire's history. The book is intended to be a ramble,
pottering here and there but by no means covering all the ground.
It reflects upon how some of world cricket's biggest names
contributed to the county game with Northamptonshire and touches on
what life was like covering the fortunes of the county cricket club
as a reporter before professionalism took a stranglehold. In
particular, it tells the story of one local boy who did very good -
David Capel, who spent 33 years at Wantage Road as a boy and a man,
a player and a coach, and in-between time fitting in an England
career as an all-rounder. Former chief executive Steve Coverdale
and several former players - Capel himself, David Steele, Geoff
Cook, Dennis Lillee, Rob Bailey, Nigel Felton, Winston Davis,
Andrew Hall and David Ripley - provide an overview of a diverse and
colourful cricket club. While short of trophies, Northamptonshire's
cricketers have never fallen short in their determination to attack
and entertain over the years. Welcome to Wantage Road. Keep on
attacking
