The Ashes According to Bumble by David Lloyd
Bumble is back! The funny, forthright and not infrequently filthy author of best-seller ‘Start the Car’ and star of Sky Sports returns with a new collection of yarns from his years at the crease and at the microphone. It’s the book that Bumble’s many fans have been longing for Expect more tales of Bumble’s time rubbing shoulders (and chinking glasses) with the great (as well as not so great) and good (as well as bloody awful) of cricket. Released alongside England’s home Ashes series, there will be more than a few stories of Bumble’s encounters with the Aussies over the years, but that’s not to say this will be any less rambling, madcap and downright fun than we’ve come to expect, and hope for, from the great David ‘Bumble’ LloydPraise for ‘Start the Car’:
‘The best cricket book of the year…laugh out loud funny’ –-Daily Mail
‘Revealing’ –-The Guardian
‘A paean to cricket and pubs and laddishness and gentle grumpiness’–-The Independent
‘For comedy genius, David Lloyd takes the (half) biscuit’–-Times Online
‘In this book Lloyd revels in the quirkier and humorous side of cricket, while offering behind-the-scenes action of his years spent following cricket round the globe’–-Nottingham Post
