What is From Sammy to Jimmy : the official history of Somerset County Cricket Club about?

In June 1991, Somerset County Cricket Club celebrates a hundred years of first-class cricket, and this official history by the county's long-serving batsman and former captain is published to mark the centenary. The first recorded Somerset game was played in 1751, since which time the county has produced such cricketing talents as Sammy Woods, Harold Gimblett and, in more modern times, Viv Richards, Martin Crowe and Ian Botham. In the early days, Somerset cricket was in a sorry plight, suffering from a lack of support, insufficient funds and poor results, and its fortunes rose and fell continually. This book charts the progress from the days of hardship to the triumphs of the last 15 years. The author, in addition to playing for Cambridge University and Somerset, during the winter writes on the game for "The Sunday Times" and "The Sydney Morning Herald".
