Tony Lock: A Turbulent Life in Cricket. This biography explores the complex and often turbulent life of Tony Lock, a cricketer who defied convention with his aggressive playing style. From his early days as a Surrey player to his later success in Australia, Lock's career was marked by both triumph and controversy. The book delves into the 'throwing' issue that led to Lock's emigration, as well as the allegations of sexual abuse that followed him throughout his life. Despite these challenges, Lock remained a formidable cricketer, earning a reputation as a fine professional and coach. This biography provides a nuanced and balanced portrayal of a man whose legacy is ultimately defined by his cricket. A testament to Lock's enduring impact on the sport, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of a life marked by both vulnerability and resilience.
