Between Overs
How Life Gets in the Way of Cricket
Introduction
The 1970s in the East Midlands was a decade of mediocrity. As a young girl growing up there, Michele 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.
Her Dream
She set her sights on becoming a cricket journalist and realised that dream in spite of the obstacles in her way.
About the Book
Between Overs is an elegiac, often comedic, romp through the trials Michele faced. It includes outrageous Me Too incidents, in-depth appraisals of her hero Viv Richards and a close encounter with actor Peter O''Toole.
Life's Challenges and Rebirth
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 Michele how to love life - and cricket - again.
