Description
Covering Glamorgan's first county championship title for 28 years, this book provides a close-up view of the realities of first-class cricket. Only three times since 1970 had Glamorgan finished in the top half of the table, and the start of the 1997 season saw them as 50-to-1 outsiders. How did they progress from there to become champions at the end? Hugh Morris recalls his personal highs and gives an insight into Glamorgan's season. He discusses the impact made by two major additions to the staff - Waqar Younis, the Pakistan fast bowler, and Duncan Fletcher, a successful Zimbabwean coach - as well as profiling all the other team members and their contributions to each match. It is a story of triumph against the odds that thrilled everyone in Wales.
