Felix White's funny and moving memoir about cricket, grief and life in The Maccabees.

In this opening part of his abridged story, Felix recalls falling in love with the sport for the first time - a love that was not immediately reciprocated.

His recollections look at growing up, his mother's multiple sclerosis and slowly replacing an ambition to be a left arm spinner in his school cricket team with the dazzling realities of life in a world renowned band.

Abridged in five parts for radio by Julian Wilkinson
