John Arlott

    Tento autor bol pozoruhodným rozprávačom, ktorý majstrovsky zachytával esenciu kriketovej hry. Jeho poetický jazyk a hlboké pochopenie športu mu umožnili sprostredkovať momenty hry s jedinečnou obraznosťou a emóciami. Bol nielen novinárom a komentátorom, ale aj básnikom, ktorého slová rezonovali s nadšením a dušou kriketu. Jeho odkaz spočíva v jeho schopnosti zdieľať krásu a hĺbku tohto športu s publikom po celom svete.

      A one-time Southampton policeman and BBC literary producer working with such writers as E.M. Forster, John Betjeman and Dylan Thomas, who became a close friend, John Arlott has always considered himself lucky. From his first ten-minute summaries of the 1946 Indian cricket tour until his retirement in 1980 he commentated on every Test match England ever played. This autobiography looks at his schooldays, about great cricketers he has known or watched and about his standing for the Liberals in the 1955 General Election.
