Stumper’s View is Alan Knott’s lively, insightful, and technically rich account of life behind the stumps. Widely respected as one of England’s greatest wicketkeepers, Knott uses this book to explore the craft of wicketkeeping, his personal philosophies on the game, and the psychology of elite cricket during the 1960s and early 1970s.
 
The narrative blends: Game analysis and wicketkeeping technique;  Behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Test cricket; Reflections on team dynamics, leadership, and preparation; Knott’s personal experiences rising through county cricket into the international arena.
 
Richly illustrated throughout, the book appeals to collectors, historians, and fans of the wicketkeeping. It remains a definitive work on the specialist position Knott mastered.
