註釋

Geoffrey Boycott is cricket's most outspoken and controversial voice. His trenchant views expressed on television, radio and in the Sun newspaper, never fail to provoke a reaction. And he speaks with the authority of a man who has been at the heart, and at the top, of the game for over thirty years. In this book, written as we approach the end of the century, he brings his unique insight to bear on all cricket's big issues and talking points. Ball tampering, for example, is the game's most divisive row of the 1990's; and the Pakistan bowlers in particular, have been victims of innuendo and intrigue ever since Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram destroyed England in 1992. 'Forget ball-tampering', insists Boycott, 'they could have bowled England out with an orange'; and he goes on to examine the background to the debate - and the rows which have engulfed cricket, such as sledging, bouncers and bribary allegations. Boycott is uncompromising, not only in his condemnations of poor management, poor play and disreputable behaviour but in his praise. Here he speaks out about the great players and characters on the cricket scene, the new management of his beloved Yorkshire, and the dramatic ashes contest of 1997.
