About The Author:-

Bob Woolmer was considered the most forward-thinking cricket at the time of his tragic death at the 2007 World Cup. He played at the highest levels of the game, from county cricket to the Packer circus and the Test arena, but it was as a coach that he created an enduring legacy, whether with the South African and Pakistan national teams, as High Performance Manager for the International Cricket Council, or as motivator and mentor for township clubs in South Africa.

Professor Tim Noakes co-founded the Sports Science Institute of South Africa and is the Discovery Health Professor of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Cape Town. He also directs the UCT/Medical Research Council Exercise Science and Sports Medicine Research Unit. An A-rated scientist, he is the author of four editions of Lore of Running (the ‘runner’s Bible’). He takes a keen interest in cricket-related research.

Dr. Helen Moffett is a freelance writer, academic and cricket fundi, who has lectured all over the world on the social, political and cultural aspects of the game. She has co-produced two films on cricket and nation-building in South Africa, and is the first woman to have been invited to give the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Lecture in the West Indies.
