As a toddler, Geoff plays a straight bat with a frying pan,
knocking his brother unconscious. They both survive and go on to
share an obsession with cricket. From playing as kids in oversized
pads, they become recreational cricketers and devotees of England
and Notts. Cricket, My Brother and Me is rich in humorous anecdotes
and personal memories of 50 eventful years playing and watching
cricket. Accounts of early life as cricketers see the brothers
trying to emulate their heroes and failing miserably, finally
settling for the role of spectator. Memories include the torture
and the glory of watching the Ashes, touring abroad and the more
sedate joys of county cricket. The book describes the brothers'
fraught first encounter with the Barmy Army and later touring as
part of the world's greatest supporters' club. Ardent fans will
enjoy the serious reflections on cricket and politics and thoughts
on the future of the sport. This is a 'must read' for cricket
lovers and for those intrigued as to why cricket can inflame such
passion.
