Stumps & Runs & Rock 'n' Roll is Tim Quelch's sixty-year
account of growing up and growing older with cricket, spanning the
period between Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1952 and the present
day. Scandals and trends, unforgettable events and heroes come and
go in English cricket just as in Quelch's vivid backdrop of
cultural change, while the fortunes of the Test side oscillate as
wildly as his ever-shifting soundtrack of popular music. The book
features telling vignettes of famous and not-so-famous cricketers
seen in action by the author throughout his life - including
Freddie Trueman, Wes Hall, Brian Statham, Graeme Pollock, John
Snow, Peter Burge and Jeff Thomson - whose lasting impressions
merge with those of triumph and adversity, pop and politics. This
is a life not so much measured by coffee spoons as by cricket
scores, with many of its abiding memories impaled upon a particular
melody or riff.
