A candid look inside international cricket

Geoffrey Boycott offers his perspective on international cricket in this illustrated account, written with Terry Brindle. Published in 1980, Opening Up includes his experiences of England's 1979–80 tour of Australia and considers the wider changes confronting the game, including World Series Cricket. Match experience sits alongside personal opinion, giving readers access to the outlook of a player directly involved in the contests and arguments of the period. Photographs complement the text, placing Boycott's observations within the teams and settings he describes. For readers interested in cricket history, the book offers the immediacy of a contemporary participant's account, capturing the pressures of touring, the scrutiny surrounding performance and a prominent batsman's views on a sport negotiating a period of change.
