A Cricketing Dream

About the Book

Matthew Temple had a dream. That dream was to be able to succeed at just one thing in life - just for once. Cricket could be the only game at which he would have any chance to do that. He wished he could play the game just like the stars in the England team, and his very own hero, his famous Dad. Who could help him fulfil his dream of one day playing at the World famous London Cricket Ground? ‘A Cricketing Dream’ is the story of how hard work, determination, and the will to succeed, can allow anyone, to overcome any problem and provide the opportunity to fulfil their dreams.

About the Author

I am 36 years old and am married with 2 young sons (10 and 5 years of age) and a 17 year old daughter. Writing has been an important part of my life for many years, ever since, as a teenager, having a wish to become a sports journalist. That goal didn’t materialise, but in my role as a cricket administrator, the creation of annual reports and newspaper articles has been an integral part of everyday life. Watching my 10 year old read enthusiastically one day, ideas began to flow, and my book is the result of those very ideas.
