Description

Richie Benaud's life has been at the very centre of international cricket for sixty years. As player and commentator, he set the standards for others to follow and witnessed all the major events in the game. This autobiography offers an extensive update on his remarkable career, as well as his thoughts on the state of the game today. Benaud's experiences spanned 63 Tests, including regaining the Ashes in 1958-59 and participating in historic matches like the Laker's match in 1956 and the Tied Test in 1960. His television career, which began in 1963, coincided with a period of significant change in the game. In Over But Not Out, Benaud shares his distinctive take on modern cricket, offering insights into series like the 2005 and 2009 Ashes, as well as his views on Twenty20, day-night games, technology, referral systems, no-balls, neutral umpires, and match-fixing.
