New Zealand batsman Mark Richardson traces his remarkable journey from being a failed spin bowler - "I woke up one morning and couldn't bowl to save myself" - to becoming an outstanding opening batsman in test cricket. The book will explore in a thoroughly unique manner the challenges, both mental and physical, Richardson faced in his struggle to reach the top in international cricket. It identifies the reasons he was motivated to succeed in a game that so often tormented him and that, remarkably, he sometimes never enjoyed playing. At the end of each topic/chapter, Richardson's views will be analysed by a leading sports psychologist. His findings will doubtless provide a valuable insight into this hugely popular and often enigmatic sportsman.
