This Audio Cassette Book, Mike Atherton - Opening Up is new and sealed. It consists of two cassettes and has a running time of approx two hours. It is read by Mike Atherton.
As England's most capped captain, Mike Atherton's very personal account of England's fortunes, and of his own, over the past decade is of obsorbing interest. For much of his Test career his was the wicket most prized by the opposition, and his account of innings against the great fast bowlers, Allan Donald, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and his nemisis Gleen McGrath takes listeners into the heat of the battle, sledging and all.
Possibly the most thoughful England captain since Mike Brearley, is uncompromising assessment of himself and vivid pictures of fellow players from Gooch and Gower to Steart, Thorpe and Nasser Hussain have the ring of truth. Ready by the author, this is Atherton in his own words.
