The Playing Mantis
From the master's apprentice in the early 1970's when he first joined the New Zealand team to the master of 1986 when he captained the first New Zealand side to win a test series in England. Coney writes his autobiography the way he plays cricket - with feeling, humour and a keen understanding of fine timing.
Coney relates the incidents and the anecdotes that signposted his way to the top of cricket ... from the days when he could not command a regular place in the New Zealand side until the ultimate honour for a New Zealand crickerter, captain on a tour of England.
He reports from out in the middle, giving a captain's view of proceedings, takes readers into the players' dressing rooms and relates the incidents - both memorable and bizarre - from more than a decade of touring.
