Sting Like a Bee - Muhammad Ali vs. the United States of America, 1966-1971 by Leigh Montville

$19.95 AUD

Category: Sport

In the mid-1960s, boxer Cassius Clay was young, successful, brash, and hugely admired. Then he joined the Nation of Islam, renounced his "slave name," and redubbed himself Muhammad Ali. Finally, after being drafted in 1966, he refused to join the military for religious and conscientious reasons, trigger ing a fight that was larger than any of his bouts in the ring. What followed was a period of legal battles, of cultural obsession, and of becoming, in some ways, the very embodiment of the civil rights movement. In this insightful portrait of the charismatic, cocky, and always entertaining Ali, New York Times bestselling author Leigh Montville brilliantly explores and illuminates the key moments in a life that was as high profile and transformative as any in the twentieth century.

England: the Biography - The Story of English Cricket by Simon Wilde

$55.00 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Sport

'An astonishing work of research, detail and revelation. Bulging with information, packed with nuggets.' John Etheridge, Sun England: The Biography is the most comprehensive account of the England cricket team that has ever been published, taking the reader into the heart of the action and the team dyn amics that have helped shape their success, or otherwise.  It is now 140 years since England first played Test match cricket and, for much of that time, it has struggled to perform to the best of its capabilities. In the early years, amateurs would pick and choose which matches and tours they would play; subsequently, the demands of the county game - and the petty jealousies that created - would prevent many from achieving their best. It was only in the 1990s that central contracts were brought in, and Team England began to receive the best possible support from an ever-increasing backroom team.  But cricket isn't just about structures, it depends like no other sport on questions of how successful the captain is in motivating and leading his team, and how well different personalities and egos are integrated and managed in the changing room. From Joe Root and Alastair Cook back to Mike Atherton, Mike Brearley and Ray Illingworth, England captains have had a heavy influence on proceedings. Recent debates over Kevin Pietersen were nothing new, as contemporaries of W.G.Grace would doubtless recognise. As England play their 1000th Test, this is a brilliant and unmissable insight into the ups and downs of that story. ...Show more
