GUESS MY STORY
The Life and Opinions of Keith Andrew
Stephen Chalke
He
was an outstanding county captain, leading the little-known players of
Northamptonshire to the top of the championship table.
He ran the National Cricket Association, looking after all the cricket
below the first-class game.
Keith
Andrew was a great wicket-keeper, a purist in a tradition that has been
followed by Bob Taylor and Jack Russell.
Yet
such is his quiet modesty that his name is not a household one, his voice less
heard than it should have been.
Now,
at the age of 73, he tells the story of his life – from humble beginnings in
Oldham to Test cricket in Brisbane – and he shares his opinions on the future
of English cricket.
He throws light on the little-known world of wicket-keeping and wonders
how the skills will evolve in the coming years.
He
relives all the drama of August 1965 when Northamptonshire stood on the verge of
their first county championship title.
This is a book for the real cricket lover.
Warm, humorous and thoughtful.
