Product Description

This is the third volume of Dickie Bird's memoirs. In his own inimitable style, Bird describes the various misfortunes that have befallen him, whether it was dealing with recalcitrant fast bowlers and petulant batsmen, or with dubious Indian dentists or noisy peacocks in a Yorkshire garden.

Review
Two books (this and Not Out) to be enjoyed both by the cricket fanatic and the layman, as the cricket is incidental to Bird's wonderful, eccentric and archetypical Yorkshire lore. 'Time was you could whistle down any Yorshire mine and up'ud come a fast bowler,' as Dennis Skinner MP once said. Bird could only have come out of Yorkshire and his pithy summaries of cricketing life and its foibles are a joy to read. (Kirkus UK)
