Description

Cricketing Safari (Signed)- Stephen Fleming & Nathan Astle. "There are cricket tours... and there are CRICKET tours. The marathon journey Stephen Fleming's New Zealand team embarked on late last year - to Africa via Australia and Singapore - definitely falls into the latter category. Their Cricketing Safari was no picnic. The injury toll was horrendous and more akin to a theatre of war than a genteel cricket tour. Such was the attrition rate, the trip almost became a parody of the Hollywood epic, Out of Africa. Yet despite the long list of injuries to key players, Fleming's walking wounded still managed to capture New Zealand's greatest ever one-day cricket scalp, the ICC Knockout Trophy (albeit in that unlikeliest of cricketing destinations, Nairobi). In Cricketing Safari, Stephen Fleming and his trust sidekick, Nathan Astle, present a thoroughly entertaining account of the four-month expedition. Experience the full gamut of emotions - from the highs of Nairobi to the lows of Southern Africa - as Flem & Nath steer readers through previously uncharted cricket territory. Cricketing Safari is like no other New Zealand cricket book. Never before have two players run the magnifying glass so closely over an entire tour... and never before have captain and corporal been so unflinching in their frankness." Close to new condition with little to no visible marks.
