4.0 out of 5 stars The Story behind the voice!, 25 Jun 2001
When I bought this book it was on the strength of the masterful commentary that richie always supplies. It was a tremendous insight into his life and explains totally why he has so much love and respect for the game. Charts its way from his humble beginnings to captain of Australia. With names to drop in such as Bradman Harvey Dexter how could you fail to enjoy his reminissing of previous ashes battles. As well as the cricket I enjoyed finding out the man behind the voice. Would recommend the book whole heartedly

4.0 out of 5 stars What a marvellous delivery, 11 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Richie's ability to translate his commentary skill and wit to paper is seamless. He writes with a great passion for the game and for the art of bowling, recalling may a great moment at the MCG and his younger touring days with his great friend Slasher Mackay.

Really is a marvellous read, what a catch this book is for any cricket fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars His wit is dryer than the Australian bush., 9 Aug 2000
The man in his book writes that "life is 90%luck and 10% skill". This epitomises Richie's modesty and humility which he carries throughout the book.

An insight into how Australian cricket was and is, how commentary is an art which Richie has clearly perfected and why so many of us regard him as one of the greats! Slasher Mackay would be proud to read about his old captain with whom he shared so many fine moments.
