When England cricket captain Tony Greig announced that he intended
to make the West Indies 'grovel', he lit a fire that burned as
intensely as the sunshine that made 1976 one of the most memorable
summers in British history. Spurred on by what they saw as a deeply
offensive remark, especially from a white South African, Clive
Lloyd's touring team vowed to make Greig pay. In Viv Richards,
emerging as the world's most exciting batsman, and fast bowlers
Michael Holding and Andy Roberts they had the players to do it.
Featuring interviews with key figures from English and West Indian
cricket, Grovel!: The Story and Legacy of the Summer of 1976
provides a fascinating study of the events and social issues
surrounding one of the sport's most controversial and colourful
tours - as well as addressing the decline of West Indies cricket
and its loss of support in the new century.
