Bill Frindall

The autobiography of Test Match Special's hugely popular 'bearded wonder', Bill Frindall

*

Reviews

  

Bill Frindall, known to cricket fans everywhere as the Bearded Wonder, is now the longest-serving member of the Test Match Special team, having been its scorer since 1966 and not having missed a home Test match in the last 41 seasons.

In this highly entertaining volume of memoirs, he looks back at some of the funniest moments that have occurred in the commentary box and assesses the great characters that he has worked with during that time, including the legendary figures of John Arlott and Brian Johnston.
Frindall also picks out the most memorable games he has seen, and provides revealing insights into the players.

Packed with fascinating facts and figures, this is a must-have for cricket lovers everywhere.

 

'A self-deprecating humour gives his book an appeal far beyond the minutiae of his astonishing feats of scoring.'
