Calypso Cricket: The Inside Story of the 1991 Windies Tour

Description

Roland Fishman takes you on his personal odyssey through the West Indies with the Australian cricket team. He takes you into the grounds, the press box, the dressing room, to the official functions, the nightclubs, the bars, around the pool, and to the card and drinking games. Meet the players. The Waugh twins- so close, but they rarely speak. Viv Richards - so arrogant on the field, so polite, humble and amusing in person. Allan Border- the unaffected hero. Merv Hughes-the jolly joker who lifts the team spirit. Is there a love-hate relationship between Bob Simpson and the players. Discover the hot Caribbean nightlife -the heart and soul of the Calypso lifestyle, the sexual values, the politics and the passion for cricket. According to Fishman, the Boundary Man, the Calypso music says it all. "Every day is a party.. . Say yes.. Everlasting fun .. . Breakout... Rant and rave and misbehave .. . There's no tomorrow." Calypso Cricket reveals the mystical side of cricket, and why it is the biggest mental, physical, and spiritual challenge in the sporting world. Fasten your seat belt for a WILD RIDE-all the way to the boundary. It's over the fence. ISBN:9781875574001
