The story of a lifetime at the very centre of international
cricket, from the most respected TV commentator in the game. Few
people understand cricket as well as Richie Benaud. For sixty
years, as player and commentator, he has set the standards for
others to follow and has witnessed all the major events in the
game. No one else has found such favour with the vast numbers of
cricket lovers in both Britain and Australia. A high-class
attacking batsman and masterful legspin bowler, he captained
Australia in 28 of his 63 Tests, regaining the Ashes in 1958-59 and
taking part in both Laker's match in 1956 and the Tied Test in
1960. His television career, which began in 1963 while he was still
a Test player, has coincided with a period of astonishing change -
in the way the game is played, with the increasing popularity of
the shorter formats, and in the way it is broadcast, with the
innovations that began with World Series Cricket. In Over But Not
Out, Richie Benaud has added extensive new material to his
acclaimed Anything but . . . an Autobiography in order to cover the
years since its publication; he not only revisits his long and
remarkable career but also casts his eye over cricket in the 21st
century. He gives his distinctive take on series such as the 2005
and 2009 Ashes and contemplates the future of the game he loves,
revealing strong and sometimes surprising opinions on Twenty20,
day-night games, technology, referral systems, no-balls, neutral
umpires and match-fixing. Packed with stories and illuminated by
his characteristic incisiveness and independent-minded good sense,
Over But Not Out is required reading for all followers of the game.
