Smithy: Just a Drummer in the Band (Signed)
Description
Smithy: Just a Drummer in the Band (Signed)- As told to Roger Brittenden. "The world's leading wicketkeeper and a dashing batsman, Ian Smith is one of those rare cricketers with the ability to change the course of a match. Despite these qualities, Smithy doesn't regard himself as one of the stars, preferring to be thought of as a team player- in his own words "Just a drummer in the band". Whether Ian Smith likes it or not, however, he is recognized by New Zealand cricket followers as more than that. He has charmed them with his impish antics and thrilled with his lusty hitting. His life story is a delightful mixture of the lighter side of international cricket coupled with the difficulties and delights of touring exotic lands. Ian Smith speaks of his teammates with touching sincerity and warmth, revealing a nature unaffected by more than a decade of top-level competition. JUST A DRUMMER IN THE BAND is Ian Smith's life story, a man big enough to laugh at himself while maintaining the self assurance of a cricketer at the pinnacle of his profession." Well looked after, kept tidy and tight. Overall in good condition.
