Anything But an Autobiography by Richie Benaud
Few people understand cricket as well as Richie Benaud. Born in New South Wales, he was a high class attacking batsman and a masterful leg-break bowler, captaining Australia in 28 of the 63 Tests in which he played. After retiring as a player in 1964, Richie Benaud quickly became a successful TV commentator. No one else has found such favour with the vast majority of cricket lovers at both ends of the world for so long. He has known every major figure in cricket for forty years, as colleague and friend or both, and with his gift as a raconteur, this will be the cricket biography of 1998.
Like one of his commentaries, the book is engaging, positive and full of shrewd judgements - Leo McKinstry, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH One of the most incisive analyses of cricket in the last 50 years - Jack Bannister, BIRMINGHAM POST Accomplished, well turned out and about 500 times more intelligent than most cricketing memoirs - WISDEN CRICKET MONTHLY
Richie Benaud captained Australia and was one of the most successful ever Australian cricketers. Since retiring from playing, he has established a reputation as the doyenne of cricket commentary, and his global popularity has grown with broadcasts on the BBC, Sky and many other networks.
