Taking it from Behind

Richard Blakey, the Yorkshire wicket-keeper, chronicles the 1999 season as his team battles for honours in all four competitions. This is a "fly-on-the-wall" account of a season in top-class cricket, which also examines the issues that confront the game at the approach of the new millennium. Blakey looks at his own career, the men he has played with and against, and the issues that have dominated cricket in the 1990s.
