David Gower in his Foreword writes "This is a joyful book. A
relentlessly good read and not just for cricket lovers either.
Everybody should read it." Not everyone can be a true sporting
hero. Most of us lost out in life's sporting lottery, and we have
to find whatever virtue we can in effort and incompetence. Not Out
First Ball is a laugh-out-loud manifesto for anyone who has ever
silently sobbed at the sight of their off stump cartwheeling off
into the distance, or thrown their bat in disgust onto an autumn
bonfire. "To field idly at long off in the evening sunshine is to
peep back over the wall to when things moved slower, cost less and
didn't always need to signify something. At a time of digital
abundance, the whole glorious point of cricket is that so much of
it is utterly pointless." Roger Morgan-Grenville and Richard
Perkins have written a book that is not only funny but also
immensely insightful and profound. All cricketers (and maybe even
their wives) will identify with the authors' experiences and those
of their teammates. Long listed for the MCC Book of the Year 2012.
