Jim Laker
One can easily dwell upon what uproar Jim Laker's autobiography "Over To Me" released in 1960 beget. The great England off spinner really hit out at all. It manifolds and exposed personal episodes that should not in general have found their way in print. The book is stenched of resentment and anger. While reviewing it, John Arlott behold that it was a pity that the book had such a piercingly grave tone by a bowler with 193 wickets in 46 Tests, esteemed as possibly the best off spinner of all time and holder of the famous 19 for 90 record at Old Trafford during his Golden Summer of 1956, certainly had a better time in the game than the book suggested. The book got him into trouble with both MCC and Surrey, his county.
