Garry Sobers: My Autobiography

Description

Garry Sobers is a cricketing legend, one of the greatest all-rounders of all time. In this revealing and honest autobiography, Sobers talks about his upbringing and about the tragic accident that inspired him throughout his career. He explains how he helped the West Indies to become the most feared cricketing nation in the world, setting them on a course of success that would run for another 20 years. He also provides authoritative views on the current state of the game and the future of cricket.

Garry Sobers played 93 Tests for the West Indies between 1954 and 1974. On his retirement, he was the world's most prolific Test run scorer, with the record individual score in an innings, seventh highest wicket taker, and fourth most catches. He was knighted in 1975.
