Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gideon has shown a lot of enthusiasm in conducting thorough and painstaking research on a remarkable cricketer who died in 1973. In some places, the book digresses and goes into too much detail. What value did tracing the lineage of Jack's grandfather have? Was there a need to discuss in so much detail the other bowlers who had mystery deliveries - Bosanquet et al? Gideon likes Jack Iverson and admits it. However, he overdoes the praise in some parts of the book. Hats off to Gideon on his vocabulary but I found the book impossible to read the book without searching for multiple words on Google. This took away the ease with which I could read the book.

The extraordinary and short career of Jack Iverson is the subject of this biography. Iverson was a hopeless fielder and batsman, but for four short years he was probably the most effective spin bowler the world has ever seen.
