Book description
Spiced with humour, the tales of epic encounters at Clifton Hampden
are told alongside more modest affairs at Lords, Headingley and OldTrafford.
Mike Harfield used to work for a large multi-national company (think
Tony Curtis talking to Marilyn Monroe on the beach in Some Like it Hot).
He was made redundant in the early 1990s. After a while, the company
thought that it had made a mistake and so asked him back. A few years
later they realised that actually it hadn't been a mistake, and made him
redundant again. For this last act he was, and continues to be,
eternally grateful. It enabled him to watch virtually every ball of the
2005 Ashes series and write Not Dark Yet. Every cloud has a silver
lining, except of course when it brings rain to prevent an England
victory. During the summer he plays cricket for the Ash Tree CC at
Prestbury in Cheshire (except for one weekend when he can be found at
Clifton Hampden). Foreword by David Lloyd (Lancashire, England and Sky
Commentator)
