by JonathanAgnew (Author)
The world of cricket has seen many ups and downs since Jonathan Agnew's autobiography was first published back in 1997. This substantially updated edition of the book features Agnew on the Cronje bribery scandal; the loss of the BBC televised coverage to Channel 4; England's failures at the 1999 World Cup, in South Africa and against the Australians in 2001; and their successes against the West Indies and Pakistan. It also includes the inside story on every tour and home series since the summer of '97 - all written in Agnew's characteristic upfront, revealing and colourful style.
