The 1970s in the East Midlands was a decade of mediocrity. As a young girl growing up there, Michele Savidge seemed destined for a prosaic life. But everything changed when as a 12-year-old she saw Viv Richards bat. At that moment, she fell in love with Richards and with West Indies cricket. She set her sights on becoming a cricket journalist and realised that dream in spite of the obstacles in her way. Between Overs is an elegiac, often comedic, romp through the trials Michele faced. It includes outrageous ' Me Too' incidents, in-depth appraisals of her hero Viv Richards and a close encounter with actor Peter O' Toole. Births, life, bereavement and depression took her away from the sport she loved. But the 2019 Cricket World Cup, a purple and green polyester tracksuit and the intense climax of the final at Lord' s saw the old flame rekindled and taught Michele how to love life - and cricket - again.
Michele Savidge began her career as a sports journalist on The Cricketer magazine before becoming deputy editor on Imran Khan' s Cricket Life. After that magazine' s spectacular financial collapse, she became the first female sports subeditor on the Evening Standard. She is the co-author (with Alastair McLellan) of Real Quick: A Celebration of the West Indies Pace Quartets.
