Colour photos included. The revealing and moving story of a man who longed to be part of New Zealand's great 1980's cricket team, only to watch the magic disintegrate just as he attained his dream.
First chosen to open the attack for New Zealand as a fast-medium strike bowler when he was barely out of his teens, Danny Morrison followed in the footsteps of his role model and hero, the great Sir Richard Hadlee, a heady responsibility that was to prove as much a curse as it was a blessing.
He poignantly describes the awe he felt as a rookier player surrounded by greats, the devastating impact of their loss, the instability caused by 'Wally Lees" sudden dismissal as coach and the dubious appointment instead of first Geoff Howarth and then Glen Turner.
Hear his side of the story about the notorious 1995 South African tour - and his repsonse to allegations that he "ratted" on three players who smoked marijuana. Most of all, learn that cricket is not only about leather and willow, but about heart and soul.
