Lara book is interesting reading. I also bought the Vaneisa Baskh biography of Frank Worrell which I am looking forward to reading.

For me, the Art of Batting is summed up in the teenaged Worrell and Walcott putting on almost a 500 run partnership against TT in a regional game. What more does one need to learn about batting??

I’m always intrigued by ‘off the field’ stories.

He always speaks highly and knowledgeably about West Indian cricketers, he knows a thing or two.
