  Spending the summers of 1958 through 1960 on a large ranch south of Cascade, Montana, as a teenager, I learned a lot about ranching—and life. Teams of horses were used for much of the work, and buckboard wagons were used daily. Technology-wise, this ranch was about thirty years behind the times, but it made a profit for the absentee owner, and it was a wonderful way of life.

  An Umpire's Journey Through Cricket's Evolution 
  In a sport where legends are forged on hallowed grounds from Lord's to Eden Gardens, one umpire's story stands apart. 
  A passionate Australian cricketer trades his whites for an umpire's coat, embarking on a journey that would challenge cricket's traditions. For six years, he witnesses the game's magic from cricket's most privileged position - standing in matches across England's most storied grounds, where giants of the game once played. 
  But it's his return to Australia that delivers an unexpected twist - like a Kumble googly that deceives even the most seasoned batsman. 
  Inspired by the rising tide of women's cricket - a phenomenon that has given India superstars like Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana - he makes an unprecedented decision. Joining the Victorian Premier Cricket Umpires Panel, he chooses to stand exclusively in women's matches, becoming a champion for the fastest-growing segment of our beloved sport. 
  Stumped is more than just a memoir - it's a window into cricket's soul. Through the unique lens of an umpire, author Richard Harrison captures the game's finest nuances, from the technical mastery required in decision-making to the various elements that enshrine the spirit of cricket.

  Tony Gale: That’s Entertainment...

  In a footballing career spanning 21 years, Tony Gale played over 720 games on almost every league pitch across the four divisions. He is one of only 16 players in the UK to have played over 300 games for two teams and one of a handful to be part of a Premier League winning side. As a pundit he’s commentated on over 3,000 live games for the likes of Sky and Capital Gold, covering virtually every major football competition in his inimitable light hearted manner. 
   
  Gale made his first team debut at Fulham Football Club at the ripe age of 16, before being made captain at 18. Playing alongside a golden era of greats, the anecdotes which Gale recounts while playing alongside George Best, Bobby Moore and Rodney Marsh are a nostalgic masterclass. Moving to West Ham for the next decade, the Pimlico born defender was part of the iconic ‘Boys of 86’ squad, which broke 17 records that year, 16 of which are still unbeaten. 
   
  Exiting at his lowest point from West Ham in 1994, with two weeks to go before the new season, Gale was in effect homeless and jobless in footballing terms. That however all changed when he landed a place at Blackburn Rovers. Sir Kenny Dalglish recalled the decision to include 35-year-old Gale into the squad of 94/95. “His experience was a big help and the positive impact he made in the dressing room was excellent. He made his contribution to us winning the league, same as everybody on that team.” 
   
  Void of any media training, Gale’s move into radio and television commentary in the late 90’s was as natural as kicking a ball. In the words of Chris Kamara, “The one thing that stayed with Galey is that dressing room humour, which you all miss when you stop playing football. The one liners, the windups. Galey brought them from the dressing room and into real life.”
