BRIAN JOHNSTON It's Been a Piece of Cake. A Tribute to My Favourtie Test Cricketers.
London England, Mandarin, 1994. Reprint, Binding: Softcover, Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall 0749302933 Paperback Now in his forty-fifth year in the commentary box, Brian Johnston has compiled a witty collection of tributes to his favourite Test cricketers. He has profiled seventy-seven - one for each year of his life to date. They are pen portraits which are splendidly anecdotal, occasionally controversial and consistently shrewd in their technical appraisal. Of course, there are one or two fine players he has had to leave out, but among those he has included are Patsy Hendren, Len Hutton, Denis Compton, Alec Bedser, Freddie Trueman, Ted Dexter, Geoff Boycott, Basil d'Oliveira, Alan Knott, Imran Khan, Viv Richards, Ian Botham, Allan Border - and many more. Filled with his unparalled gift of the gab, infectious sense of humour and unashamed fondness for chocolate cake, this book is Brian Johnston at his most talkative on the subject he knows best. Illustrated. Message to owner on inside cover. .
