Over and Out: My Innings of a Lifetime with Test Match Special - Henry Blofeld - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Over and Out: My Innings of a Lifetime with Test Match Special - Henry Blofeld - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

For over half a century, Henry Blofeld has conveyed his unfailing enthusiasm for the game of cricket as a much loved broadcaster and journalist. His characteristically patrician tones, overlaid with those of the bon viveur, have delighted listeners to the BBC''s Test Match Special where the personality of the broadcaster comes second only to a deep knowledge of the game and its players. With his engaging conversational tone it is easy to see why listeners feel as if they are actually at the Test match watching in Henry''s friendly company. Now that ''Blowers'' has decided to declare his TMS innings closed, his book reveals the secrets of life in the commentary box and of the rich cast of characters with whom he shared it, from the early days of John Arlott and Brian Johnson to Aggers and new boys Boycott, Swann, Vaughan and Tuffers. Henry is equally revealing of his own performances and self-deprecatingly recalls his several verbal misfortunes while live broadcasting. Like the greatest commentators and writers on the game Blofeld has always understood that there is a world beyond the cricket field. Not forgetting pigeons passing, red buses and much loved cricket grounds, Henry Blofeld writes of his favourite countries, and experiences while travelling, and meeting and interviewing many cricket-loving celebrities. His passionate and entertaining book will become one of the classics of cricket''s literature.

Ten to Win . . . And the Last Man In - Henry Blofeld - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Ten to Win . . . And the Last Man In - Henry Blofeld - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Is there anything in sport to compare with the sustained excitement of a cricket match, especially a Test match, in which the advantage continually fluctuates one way and then the other, and when the match enters its last few minutes, all four results are still possible?'' After entertaining countless radio listeners around the world for decades, who better to convey the breathless drama of a Test match cliffhanger than Henry Blofeld? Now, in Ten to Win . . . and the Last Man In , he has personally selected thirty matches featuring unforgettable finishes and brought them vividly to life again in his own inimitable way.Ranging from the match-winning bowling of F.R. Spofforth against W.G. Grace''s England in 1882, via the first tied Test between Benaud''s Australia and Worrell''s West Indies in 1960, to the never-say-die batting of Ben Stokes in 2019, he picks out the key events and performances of each memorable match and describes them as only he can.Alongside the big-hitting heroics of Jessop in 1902 and Botham in 1981, he revisits less celebrated matches such as South Africa''s hard-fought first Test win in 1906, as well as a crucial innings from Denis Compton in 1948 and a match-saving performance by a young Alan Knott in Guyana in 1968 - one of the most exciting matches he has ever witnessed first-hand.Filled with colourful detail and informed by insight gained from a lifetime immersed in the sport he loves, Henry Blofeld''s latest book will leave the reader in no doubt - as he himself puts it - about ''what an absurdly irresistible game cricket can be''.

Playing It My Way - Sachin Tendulkar - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''I don''t think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar.'' -Shane Warne Readers are in love with Sachin Tendulkar''s autobiography: ''A must read for anyone who knows cricket'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''An idol . . . An inspiration'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''A great book by one of the all time greats'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''Brings back so many wonderful memories''⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''This book has made me feel proud to be a lover of the game and has inspired me to succeed in everything I do.'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story of the greatest cricket player of all time, told in his own words. __________ The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award - India''s highest civilian honour - on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story - from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill. When a boisterous Mumbai youngster''s excess energies were channelled into cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon . Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India''s batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation''s devoted followers.Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style - s coring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai. His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings . Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain.Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of a sporting life like no other . __________

Graeme Swann: The Breaks Are Off - My Autobiography - Graeme Swann - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Graeme Swann: The Breaks Are Off - My Autobiography - Graeme Swann - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Graeme Swann''s transformation from international outsider to England''s primary match-winner and undisputed best spin bowler in the world has been remarkably rapid. Within two years of his 2008 Test debut, he had become his country''s most reliable bowler, made the shortlist for the ICC''s cricketer of the year award and claimed an Ashes-sealing wicket. Yet the script took many twists and turns along the way.Drafted into the squad for the full tour of South Africa in 1999-2000. Swann''s meteoric received a jolt. While some liked the cut of his jib, others did not and England coach Duncan Fletcher already had a foot in the latter camp when Swann missed the bus for the first of two times on that tour. Suddenly he was judged on temperament and not talent. Although Swann candidly concedes he was nowhere near good enough for the top level at that stage in his career, his jettisoning back to county cricket for the next seven years, following a solitary one-day international, hinted at a career wasted. A clash with then Northamptonshire coach Kepler Wessels triggered his move to Nottinghamshire in 2005. A County Championship winner in his debut season, he was back in the England fold at the end of his third. Forever a flamboyant showman, he made up for lost time with two wickets in his first over against India - his habit of striking in his opening over a spell has become a party piece. You cannot keep the spotlight off him for long. Since moving into the top 10 of the world rankings for bowlers on the back of eight wickets in the Ashes-defining Oval Test of 2009, he has not dropped outside it, and has been widely tipped to be the decisive factor in the defence of the urn in Australia.

Over But Not Out - Richie Benaud - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Over But Not Out - Richie Benaud - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

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.

My Autobiography - Rory Best - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Extraordinary . . . great fun'' Barry Egan, Irish Sunday Independent ''A wonderful story . . . vivid and comprehensive.'' Stephen Jones, Sunday Times ''''Throughout it all though there is a feeling of warmth for the sport and for others. Above all there is a sense of achievement . . . Best was never one of the glamour boys, but he deserves star billing.'' Daily Telegraph Rory Best is widely-regarded as one of Ireland''s greatest ever captains. Entrusted by Joe Schmidt to lead the side that looked on the wane following the 2015 World Cup, Best''s inspirational leadership skills and abrasive qualities proved to be the foundation stones for the most successful period in Ireland''s history.His first year in charge saw Ireland complete a hat-trick of victories against the southern hemisphere ''Big Three'', including leading his side to a first ever victory over world champions New Zealand in Chicago, a feat that etched Best''s place in Irish sporting folklore and ended the All Blacks'' record-winning streak of 18 Test victories.Ireland''s annus mirabilis under Best''s captaincy would come in 2018 however, when he led the side to only their third Grand Slam title, culminating with a famous victory over England at Twickenham, and a record-breaking run of 12 successive Test victories.When he stepped down as Ireland captain at the age of 37 following the World Cup in Japan, his fourth tournament, history will no doubt also judge Best to be one of their greatest forwards.A hugely-popular figure across the game, Best finished his career as Ireland''s most capped forward, behind only Brian O''Driscoll and Ronan O''Gara in the all-time records, and also made over 200 appearances for his province Ulster.
