Bearders: My Life in Cricket
By Will 2 years ago, mid-June, Comments
As mentioned the other day, I have been reading and reviewing Bill Frindall’s autobiography, Bearders: My Life In Cricket. I wasn’t looking forward to it but much to my surprise, it was an interesting book. It’s not to everyone’s taste, of course, but it revealed a different side to his voice on air with Test Match Special (where he can seem a trifle pissed off with life. And Henry Blofeld).
Worth a read. Full review at Cricinfo.

I’m reviewing Bill Frindall’s autobiography - Bearders: My Life In Cricket - which, I’ll be perfectly honest, hasn’t filled me with wonder and awe. However, in the dozen or so pages I flicked through last night (he has chapters on most of his colleagues over the years: John Arlott, Jonathan Agnew, Vic Marks, Brian Johnston - all that lot) it could be quite entertaining. I’m just a bit worried that the statistical stuff might get in the way.
We’ll see. He’s the editor of the long-running (and firm favourite of mine) Playfair Cricket Annual, and has been Test Match Special’s scorer seemingly for ever.
