Beyond The Pavilion - Reflections on a Life in Cricket

Exploring seventy years of social, regional and cultural history through the eyes of one of cricket's earliest Test match wayfarers, Barry Knight.

About the author

Barry Knight was one of England’s finest all-rounders. He played twenty-nine Test matches for England and 379 First-Class matches for Essex and Leicestershire. During his career with Essex, Barry completed the double (100 wickets and a thousand runs) in four seasons. He accomplished the elusive double in each season from 1962 to 1965, including the fastest in modern times (ten weeks). In 1964 he won the World Single Wicket title at Lord’s. Upon his retirement from playing, he moved to Australia and established a cricket-coaching business in Sydney.
Andrew Leeming was born in Manchester, England, and divided the first fifteen years of his life between Australia and England. His friendship with Barry Knight began when he attended his coaching school in 1977. Andrew is currently Chief Executive Officer of the Bradman Foundation and Museum. ‘Beyond The Pavilion’ is his second book.
