With over 125 Tests behind him, Alec Stewart still maintains a batting average over 40 runs. He has demonstrated that someone who can keep wicket to an exceptionally high degree, as well as score an impressive 15 Test hundreds, deserves to be known as one of England’s greatest ever all- rounders.
Rumoured to be retiring this autumn at the age of 40, Alec, with the aid of experienced writer Pat Murphy, reveals all in this, his first ever biography. His story is that of someone deeply in love with cricket, fortunate to have inherited outstanding sporting genes but supremely professional at utilising that natural talent to the ultimate degree. He is still excited and stimulated by the game and looks back with great fondness at a career that is now more than 20 years in length.
An outspoken and honest biography from the country’s most experienced cricketer, this book will shock, entertain and amuse in equal measure.
