The journalist Suresh Menon once said You don't have to be mad to
be a wicketkeeper, but it helps'. Wicketkeeping is one of the great
arts of cricket on which seemingly everyone has an opinion and yet
few really know what they are talking about; and the wicketkeepers
themselves are an eclectic mix of extroverts and introverts all
trying to do the same thing every time they walk onto a cricket
field - be perfect. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Wicketkeepers
is a book written by a wicketkeeper, Luke Sutton, which lifts the
lid on what being a wicketkeeper is really like. This is not a dull
technical examination of the art but instead a look into the minds
of the best who have done it in England. There is humour, sadness
and extraordinary insight as Sutton allows the likes of Jos
Buttler, Jack Russell, Sarah Taylor, Alec Stewart, Chris Read, Amy
Jones and Geraint Jones to tell their own stories about what it
truly meant to be a keeper'.
