The Greatest Season by Patrick Murphy
Has any county cricket club come close to the success of Warwickshire in the summer of 1994? Boosted by the late signing of Brian Lara, inspired by the maverick captain Dermot Reeve, fine-tuned by the ground-breaking coach Bob Woolmer, the little-fancied Bears won three trophies and were runners-up in the fourth. Patrick Murphy, working for the BBC in the Midlands, saw much of the action that summer, and in 'The Greatest Season' he tells the extraordinary story, drawing on the testimony not only of the team and the backroom staff but of many of their outwitted opponents. Though the tale has its moments of conflict and sadness, 'The Greatest Season' is above all a celebratory book, enhanced by previously unseen images from photographer Graham Morris.
Patrick Murphy was BBC Radio's Midlands sports correspondent for more than 30 years. He has written over 40 cricket books, among them 'The Centurions', about the 25 cricketers who have scored 100 hundreds, and collaborations with Dermot Reeve, Warwickshire's captain in 1994, and Allan Donald, the South African fast bowler who played for many years for Warwickshire.
