John Arlott Knihy
Tento autor byl pozoruhodným vypravěčem, který mistrně zachycoval esenci hry kriketu. Jeho poetický jazyk a hluboké pochopení sportu mu umožnily zprostředkovat okamžiky hry s jedinečnou obrazností a emocemi. Byl nejen novinářem a komentátorem, ale také básníkem, jehož slova rezonovala s nadšením a duší kriketu. Jeho odkaz spočívá v jeho schopnosti sdílet krásu a hloubku tohoto sportu s publikem po celém světě.
A one-time Southampton policeman and BBC literary producer working with such writers as E.M. Forster, John Betjeman and Dylan Thomas, who became a close friend, John Arlott has always considered himself lucky. From his first ten-minute summaries of the 1946 Indian cricket tour until his retirement in 1980 he commentated on every Test match England ever played. This autobiography looks at his schooldays, about great cricketers he has known or watched and about his standing for the Liberals in the 1955 General Election.
