Here he describes his three cricket tours of the West Indies, numerous visits to Australia, a trip to Roumania with the aAll Blacks and his unhappy visit to South Africa with the Cavaliers in 1986. Now free to write the real stories that have occurred over the years, he offers new insights into events surrounding the Cavaliers' tour, identifies the 1992 Sri Lanka bomb blast as the origin of New Zealand's recent cricketing woes, and outlines the part he played in the litt-known New Zealand plan to challenge for the America's Cup in the 1950s.
