Reviews
"Talking to Duncan Hamilton about writing & cricket is a pleasing way to pass an hour. His life story trips off the tongue, doubtless honed over the years but related in good humour and in a quiet, matter-of-fact way that belies what he's already achieved in a relatively short time writing sports books." * Cricket Yorkshire.com (May 2011) *
"Yorkshire County Cricket Club is one of the most successful clubs in county history, and this book presents the best information from the Almanack archives, including: the county's history, the 20 greatest Yorkshire matches, iconic players, the 20 greatest international matches played in Yorkshire, such as Botham's 1981 'miracle', and much more." * Yorkshire Ridings Magazine (June 2011) *
