As a young girl growing up there, Mich駘e Savidge seemed destined for a prosaic life. But everything changed when as a 12-year-old she saw Viv Richards bat. At that moment, she fell in love with Richards and with West Indies cricket. She set her sights on becoming a cricket journalist and realised that dream in spite of the obstacles in her way. Between Overs is an elegiac, often comedic, romp through the trials Mich駘e faced. It includes outrageous 'Me Too' incidents, in-depth appraisals of her hero Viv Richards and a close encounter with actor Peter O'Toole. Births, life, bereavement and depression took her away from the sport she loved. But the 2019 Cricket World Cup, a purple and green polyester tracksuit and the intense climax of the final at Lord's saw the old flame rekindled and taught Mich駘e how to love life - and cricket - again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michele Savidge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1801500711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781801500715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pitch Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Michele Savidge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945959751935,"sku":"9781801500715","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cc9de29f-d6c8-4c73-9ea3-bbc974e701d3.jpg?v=1681510727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-overs-michele-savidge-9781801500715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
