Discover the extraordinary seven-decade career of Dennis Amiss, from his early days sneaking onto cricket grounds to his pivotal role in England's cricketing history. This autobiography reveals Amiss's passion, commitment, and resilience as he navigates challenges, controversies, and triumphs, including his involvement in the 'Rebel Tour' and the battle between World Series Cricket and the England Cricket Board. Perfect for cricket enthusiasts and readers seeking an inspirational sports biography, Not Out at Close of Play celebrates the life of a true cricketing great.
With 100 first-class hundreds and 50 England Caps, DENNIS AMISS MBE ranks amongst the greats of the game. Joining the Warwickshire playing staff as a 15-year-old in 1958, he retired as a player almost thirty years later in 1987. He then turned to the administrative side, serving as CEO at Edgbaston for seventeen years and Vice Chairman of the ECB for four. It wasn't until 2011 that he finally retired.
Starting as a player for the England U19 XI in 1969, JAMES GRAHAM-BROWN had an eight-year playing career with Kent and Derbyshire before becoming a teacher. After retiring as headmaster of the Royal High School, Bath, he has made his mark as a playwright specialising in sporting dramas.
