Oh, what a time.
What a time that was to be alive.
Jim Wallace.
Now, before I come to you all, we've had so many responses.
I want to just name a few.
The first one I've got here, and I've forgotten this book, but it's brilliant, is Another Bloody Tour by Francis Edmonds, Phil Edmonds' wife, about touring the West Indies.
That's a great read.
I've got the Lady Bird Book of Cricket.
That was probably the very first book that I got when I was about six, which in its brief length and pocketable format provides the most perfect and simple explanation of the game for neophytes of any age, says Richard Guy from Woolwich.
Ian from Sudbury, Mike Brearley's The Art of Captaincy is both a great book, a wonderful book about leadership and
and also alan ross's account of the 54 55 tour of australia he loves as well as simon jones's lot of hard yakka which he says is both a great piece of writing and opened up the realities of the county game that was by simon hughes of course uh there's been a few books on the 54 55 tour we had one last year from richard whitehead which was brilliant and won awards um
Let's start with Simon, because Simon, you have written, you told me, 13 books.
Does it feel like more?
Because you've been doing it pretty much every year for two or three decades.
Yes, I don't know, why have I written so many books?
I think I... I mean, I grew up in a household full of books because my father was an English teacher in Leeds.
He loved cricket and he loved books, and he had a lot of cricket books.
So I think when I was absorbing cricket as a youngster, the writing or the reading of it, about it, was always part of the process, really.
It wasn't just about watching it and playing it, it was reading about it as well.
So I think he instilled my love of books, really.
