About this item

Clyde Walcott has been a key figure in world cricket for over half a century. A top-class West Indian batsman and wicketkeeper from 1941 to 1964, he was famously known as one of the three Ws' (along with Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell). In the seventies he was manager of the controversial fast-bowling West Indies Test side which included the likes of Andy Roberts and Michael Holding. He is now chairman of the International Cricket Committee. Entertaining, irreverent and genial, Walcott is controversial on the game and its players. His historical scope, anecdotes and humour will delight cricket lovers all over the world. With b/w photographs and appendices.

Oxfam Bookshop St Albans

Oxfam is the UK's largest second hand bookseller, but it doesn't stop there. We sell a great range of donated music as well. Whether it's vintage LPs or the latest modern fiction you want, we're well worth a look! We also sell greetings cards for every occasion. And of course we have some great stock for sale on Oxfam's Online Shop, too. Call us to find out more.

Could you help us by collecting donations from donors homes? Our shop receives many offers of generous donations that we have to turn down as we do not have volunteers able to collect. We would ask you to collect in your own car, at your convenience and reimburse your petrol costs. It might be a couple of times a month and would make a really big difference to our ability to make money.
