As England struggles to regain its standing in world cricket, Geoffrey Boycott draws on his experience at the forefront of the game for two decades to offer an assessment of current trends and factions in the game. He discusses technique and character; heavy bats and short-pitched bowling; Gower and Botham; the predicament of Yorkshire cricket. He reveals the advice he gave England's young batsmen before they set off for the West Indies, and, as one who has spoken out against apartheid but has himself been on a rebel tour of South Africa, he comments on Mike Gatting's ill-fated trip and the tragi-comic events which led up to it.
