Think of a cricket umpire - and the image that comes to mind will be of Dickie Bird. From beneath the peak of his famous white cap Dickie Bird has seen and heard more than even television could show. 'That's Out!' follows his early days on the square through to the period in which he became England's premier Test Match umpire.
Dickie Bird recalls the beginnings, the great bowlers and the controversial incidents of the era. He tells why he declined to join Kerry Packer's "cricket circus" and of his friendship with Dennis Lillee, whom he ranks as the greatest fast bowler of his time.
Rich with anecdote and humour and a selection of black and white photographs, his recollections and observations will inform and entertain both those who share his passion for the game and the more casual "armchair" supporter.
