Standing Up

3.5/5 ( ratings)

‘Standing Up’ is an in-your-face chronicle of the career of one of Kent’s most combative cricketers in recent times, Steve Marsh. The long-serving glove-man lifts the lid on life in the professional game through the eighties and nineties and pulls no punches in recounting his clashes with the club’s hierarchy as he fought as captain to bring the glory days back to his success-starved county.

Once described as ‘the most hated man in cricket’, Steve brings hard-hitting perspective to topics such as the art of captaincy, winning the psychological game and dropping back down to the amateur ranks. Along the way he will have readers snorting with laughter – and often disbelief - at the antics and controversies that can occur both on and off a cricket field.

Steve Marsh always had plenty to say for himself behind the stumps and in this refreshingly different autobiography he is as forthright as ever. This book is a revised and updated version of ‘The Gloves Are Off’, published in 2001.

Pages: 151

Format: Kindle Edition
