About the author
Richard Murphy has followed the fortunes of the England cricket team since being hooked as a schoolboy watching Ian Botham take on Australia in 1981. It's been quite a ride - from being a nocturnal student listening to radio coverage from New Zealand to sitting at Edgbaston for the remarkable 2005 Ashes Test. Richard is a journalist and has written two books about Stoke City Football Club.
