Usual stories and characters. Boycott on being told that he sent people to sleep, 'Yes, but I'm still in when they wake up!'. One particularly belligerent spectator 'You'll never die of a stroke!'
Good list of pubs and curry houses near test grounds.
Concluding chapter is a disappointing diatribe, without characteristic humour, of the state of cricket.

Lloyd is one of cricket's great characters. This book is not only a collection of his thoughts on the game - from his perspective as player, coach and TV commentator - but laso his thoughts on life. He regales a vast repertoire of humorous stories and observations with a typical northern wit. Recommended.
Enjoyable autobiography of cricketer, coach, umpire, commentator, Bumble
