SLOW DEATH | RUDI KOERTZEN WITH CHRIS SCHOEMAN IN JOHANNESBURG

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.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.
