"If you want to get off to the right start at cricket you can do no better than pick up some tips from Geoff, but this attractive little hardback is by no means useful only to those stepping on to the field for the first time...[the book] is beautifully illustrated with colour pictures of some of the world’s current top players going through their motions alongside pen-and-ink type sketches which clearly show how to play every aspect of the game correctly."

"It is a fascinating and frank coaching manual, with some excellent cartoon illustrations...Some interesting thoughts are provided, such as on how to care for your bat properly, how to play in windy conditions, how to bowl at tall batsmen and how to play your way through a run of bad form. The book also covers bowling technique, fielding tips and advice on captaincy."
