Arlott, Swanton and the Soul of English Cricket by David Kynaston and Stephen Fay |
For cricket lovers of a certain age! The contrast between the liberal, poetic, working class radio voice and the pompous, establishment TV figure gives way to a more complex story. The two men, never close, were united by a deep love of cricket, a recognition of the need for change and their opposition to racial oppression - Arlott by nature, Swanton when it mattered. Their story is also that of post-war English cricket.
