I strongly recommend you read it, or give it to the cricket lover in your life' -- Amol Rajan 'The definitive telling of the life of a West Indian hero' -- Sir Clive Lloyd 'Lister brought a story-teller's flair to his study of the groundbreaking West Indies captain. Justice has been well and truly done to Frank Worrell's life on and off the field' -- Richard Hobson * <I>Cricketer </I> * 'Lister has form, and here he is on form. The breadth and depth of his research, his eye for colour and stylish writing mean Worrell is likely to become the definitive account of its subject's life and legacy' -- Franklin Nelson * <I>Times Literary Supplement </I> * 'Simon Lister has once again deployed his compelling lucidity, formidable analytical skills - and his gift for the gripping narrative - to craft a biography of distinction, arguably the best on a West Indian cricketer' -- Clem Seecharan, cricket historian 'Beautifully written, brimming with delightful and telling details, expertly structured and in places very moving' -- Stephen Chalke
