The Cricketer Magazine October 2020 Vorige editie

Sir Geoffrey Boycott is the cover star of the October issue of The Cricketer. About to turn 80 on October 21, Simon Hughes visits the great man’s home and finds he has not lost any of his authority or insight, despite a rare summer out of the public eye:
‘I’ve loved every minute of it: 25 years playing, 35 commentating. If I could do it all again, I would.'

Ivo Tennant went to Boycott’s birthplace, Fitzwilliam, and spoke to his friends including Sir Michael Parkinson and Dickie Bird, and George Dobell tells of the kindness shown by Boycott during a difficult time.

Also in the issue:
• Monte Lynch opens up about the racism he encountered in cricket
• Philip Collins argues that Zak Crawley’s 267 against Pakistan might not be what it seems
• Derek Pringle and Vic Marks analyse the recent success of Essex and Somerset respectively
• Frances Edmonds features in 'Whatever happened to'
• Ollie Robinson of Sussex talks about his England prospects
• Barney Ronay says Ian Bell’s brilliance and grace transcended numbers
• 'Eyewitness' recalls the wickets and runs of the great Sir Richard Hadlee at Nottinghamshire
