REVIEW QUOTES
Chalke
is a magnificent wordsmith and this is a magnificent book – just the right
length
at
20,000 words or so, and penned with an instinctive feel for the game’s history
and traditions.
It
is an engrossing narrative and a fitting monument to the famous stand.
Chris Waters,
Yorkshire Post
A
gem of a book, fascinating and meticulously researched.
It
holds its readers in thrall throughout its 64 pages.
David Warner,
Bradford Telegraph and Argus
Sepia-soaked,
flawlessly researched recollection of, and honour to, the 75th anniversary
of
English cricket’s highest opening partnership. Chalke has set the standard
for
this sort of stuff; he is becoming one of cricket’s most valued treasures.
