Stroud, Tempus Publishing. 2005, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0752435507) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Jim Parks starred for Sussex CCC between 1949 and 1972. As one of the first great wicketkeeper-batsmen he played 46 times for England in a career that earned him widespread respect throughout the game of cricket. Jim was an exciting player who would empty the bar like a Botham or a Flintoff, his style making him an ideal one-day batsman; a fearsome partnership of Parks and Ted Dexter fired Sussex to Gillette Cup success in the first two seasons of the competition. In this official and fully authorised biography, Derek Watts gives the true story behind the highs and lows of Jim's career, from the cup successes and England appearances to the problems that saw him resign the Sussex captaincy in 1968 and then leave the club for Somerset in 1972. Jim returned to the county of his birth in the 1990s, accepting the club's offer of a life membership. He is currently President of Sussex CCC, as he was during their Championship campaign of 2003, so he remains a well-known and extremely popular figure on the South Coast. New/New.
