Synopsis

Life is like facing an opening bowler: the pitch is unknown, the ball is new and you don't know what will be delivered. A reflection on Barry Nicholls's life, SECOND INNINGS explores the authors struggle with mental health and the road to recovery, using his love of the game of cricket to make sense of it all. Set partly in the present, SECOND INNINGS includes flashbacks through five decades of life and focuses particularly on the lives of the men across the generations of Barry Nicholl's own family, and tells the story of Barrys journey from teacher to print journalist to broadcaster.
