Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Former England cricket coach David Lloyd answers some of the nagging questions that all fans of the sport have asked themselves since his decision to stand down from the post in 1999. Three years in one of sport's most pressurised jobs left Lloyd--affectionately known as Bumble--to become vastly disillusioned at the hierarchical nature of English cricket's upper echelons. Lloyd's time, he writes, was being taken up more and more by the politics surrounding the sport--something which interested him much less than the more traditional day-to-day coaching side of the job. The former Lancashire batsman--and later coach of the same club--took over as boss of the national side in 1996 and set about the task of rebuilding the confidence in English cricket right down to grass roots level. But little did he know what would stand in his way. While it is true that Lloyd did not help his cause--with his forthright and frank rather than diplomatic attitude--it is clear his path to success was blocked deliberately, and the Accrington lad even goes so far as to say he feels he was 'treated like a naughty schoolboy'. This book is a frank and enlightening account of Bumble's three years in charge of England--and will clear up some of the up to now unanswered questions thrown up by his decision to quit as national coach. --Andrea Thursday

Synopsis
Since the late-1990s, David Lloyd has suffered the diatribe of press and public alike as coach to an England team that has become the laughing stock of world cricket. This autobiography is painstakingly honest appraisal of Lloyd's attempts to rebuild a tarnished England team, to raise morale and strive to modernize what had become an outdated approach to playing the game in this country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good honest stuff, 30 May 2000
By Clive Pacey "clivexxxx" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
David Lloyd has never been anything less than transparently honest with both his feelings and opinions, and whilst this has perhaps not always served him well when coaching engalnd, it makes for a very entertaining and often illuminating read He is suprisingly candid about a number of current and recent England players and it is very clear that many peoples suspicions that it has not always been a happy camp are well founded. Refreshingly he is also clear minded about the shortcomings of the game in general during the early part of his career and there is none of the "in my day rubbish" we are so often subjected to by players of his generation. His views are worth noting and the anecdotes often excellent. This is a good read and a very interesting comparison to Bob woolmer's also excellent recent book.
