Subtitle: Memoirs of a Cricket Umpire Author: Rudi Koertzen with Chris Schoeman Publisher: Zebra Press () Edition: Second Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Slight wear to cover corners Binding: Softcover Pages: 225 Dimensions: 23 x 15 x 2 cm +++ by Rudi Koertzen with Chris Schoeman +++ For 30 years, batsmen around the world have feared the slow and deliberate way Rudi Koertzen raises his left arm to give them out - so much so that it has given rise to his nickname, Slow Death. Despite the sinister sobriquet, Rudi Koertzen remains one of the most loved and respected umpires in world cricket and certainly one of the most experienced. Now Rudi takes the reader back to some of the highlights of his career in Test, ODI and T20 matches, including several World Cups and Ashes series. From his unique perspective, he rates the cricketers he has umpired over the years - the best batsmen, bowlers and fielders - and gives reasons why they stand out from other players. He shares players’ hilarious on-field antics and, on occasion, histrionics. Humorous, informative and nostalgic, this is the book every cricket fan will want to own.

Subtitle: Through My Eyes Author: Mark Boucher and Neil Manthorp Publisher: Jonathan Ball () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good. Slight wear to cover edges. Binding: Softcover Pages: 308 Dimensions: 23.3 x 15.1 x 20.3 cm +++ by Mark Boucher and Neil Manthorp +++ When Mark Boucher played one of his first games of cricket for South Africa, a senior player took him aside and bluntly told him he was the worst wicketkeeper ever to play in the national side. Over a decade later, when Bouch finally retired with a plethora of records under his belt and to huge acclaim from the public, he took grim satisfaction in relating this piece of history. Through my Eyes is the story of a man with remarkable sporting prowess. Bouch's career was brought to a dramatic end on a cricket pitch in England when the bail of a stump punctured his left eye. But, in his own words, 'I lost sight but gained vision.' True to his character of gritty determination, Bouch has rededicated his life to a new cause, that of the environment and particularly the critically endangered rhino.
