Crazy by Chris Lewis
‘Crazy’ Chris Lewis played in thirty-two Test Matches and fifty-three One-Day Internationals for England. At one point he was regarded as one of the best all-round cricketers the country has ever produced. However, feeling at odds with the middle-class nature of the sport, he regularly courted controversy when off the field – and the tabloids happily lapped it up. His naming of England players involved in a match-fixing scandal led to his early retirement at the age of just 30. After this, he withdrew from the limelight until, in 2008, he was arrested for importing cocaine from the Caribbean and sentenced to thirteen years in prison. In Crazy, Lewis recounts his remarkable, redemptive story, from his arrival in England from Guyana, through his colourful cricketing career, his arrest and subsequent trial, his time in prison and how he finally put his life back together.
CHRIS LEWIS, former England cricketer, now spends his time coaching children at Harrow Town Cricket Club, playing cricket with Lashings, which takes his beloved sport to cricket clubs up and down the country, and sharing his amazing story. In ‘An Evening with Chris Lewis’, the audience get close and Chris throws it open to the floor, showing his willingness to engage with his past, and his hope of making a difference.
