Publisher's Synopsis
An account of England's 1954 tour of the West Indies under Len Hutton which was considered one of the most dramatic and acrimonious in the history of the game. The series was exciting and evenly contested by the likes of Compton, Graveney, Laker, Trueman, Walcott, Worrell, Weekes and Ramadhin - as well as the newcomer, Gary Sobers.;Intimidatory bowling, a "throwing" controversy, a crowd riot in Georgetown, threats to the umpires and an alleged insult to Jamaica's chief minister by the England captain led to furious argument and wild stories in the press.
