Autorenporträt
Charles Sale worked as a sports journalist for 40 years. Between 2001 and 2018 he wrote a column for the Daily Mail that held the main sporting bodies, including MCC, to account. The Covers Are Off is his second book on cricket. The first, Korty, told the story of Essex bowler Charles Kortright, the fastest of his day during the Golden Age of cricket. Sale's claim to cricketing fame is what is reportedly a world record for the slowest innings of all time - 1 not out, in 2 hours 32 minutes - to salvage a draw for Repton School in 1974.
