About this product

Product Information

Fitness was in the hands of the physiotherapist who was often just a 'slap and tickle merchant' - fortunately not in their case. Flying replacements out for injured players was an expensive rarity. Touring teams economised and were expected to return a profit to headquarters. Gate money was expected to fund the tour - there was no television or sponsorship income. Nor did teams always stay at the best hotels - their cost was a factor to be considered. Geoffrey Howard, the tour manager, was not even provided with a touring account to pay expenses. He had to open a personal bank overdraft to pay the early touring costs. As Tyson says: I often wonder how much better players of my time would have been if they had known as much and had the same benefits as today's cricketers? We should be happy that they played with and against giants. Could they have aspired to higher ambitions? God might have drawn the line there!!
