The South African tour of 1960 was far from ordinary. The world was waking up to the evils of apartheid after the Sharpeville massacre, and there was cricketing controversy in the 'no-balling' of Geoff Griffin, a young and talented Springbok fast bowler. All this took place before the all-seeing eyes of the new medium of television.

Autorenporträt
David Potter, a retired teacher, has written around 50 books, mainly on Scottish football, but a few on cricket as well. South Africa's 1960 tour of England was the first that really excited his interest in cricket, as he watched it through the new medium of television. He was never a great player, but has contributed to the game in umpiring and scoring. He is currently the scorer of Falkland CC in Scotland.
