On Cricket – 9780349705071

Sir Trevor McDonald is one of Britain’s most celebrated broadcasters and his devotion for cricket is almost as well-known as his legendary professional achievements. In this inspirational memoir, On Cricket, Sir Trevor explores his childhood in the Caribbean and celebrates his life-long love of the sport that followed him no matter where in the world his illustrious journalistic career would take him. Sir Trevor offers a wide-ranging commentary on cricket as a common language between England, the West Indies and beyond – a sense of belonging that knows no borders – and celebrates cricket as an engine of national identity and an essential feature of daily life and community. An exceptional storyteller and commentator, On Cricket is a love letter to the sport and a study of Sir Trevor’s oldest and most consistent passion: watching, debating and playing the gentleman’s game.
