Bearders by Bill Frindall

In this highly entertaining volume of memoirs, he looks back at some of the funniest moments that have occurred in the commentary box and assesses the great characters that he has worked with during that time, including the legendary figures of John Arlott and Brian Johnston. Frindall also picks out the most memorable games he has seen, and provides revealing insights into the players. As you would expect from the world's leading cricket statistician, the book is packed with fascinating facts and figures. For lovers of cricket everywhere, especially fans of TMS, this book is the perfect summer's read.
