LIMITED EDITION of 125 numbered copies, SIGNED BY WES HALL AND THE AUTHOR. A biography of the famous West Indies fast bowler, politician and minister Wes Hall. ......................................................... The Cricket Statistician, number 201, Spring 2023: Wes Hall has ensured that a book about his life pays full tribute to those who helped him along the way...this well-written book...has a good selection of photographs, essential statistics and a decent index. In every sense this is a proper biography...Highly recommended. ............................................................. The Journal of the Cricket Society, volume 31, number 4, Spring 2023: With this sensitively written biography...life-long cricket aficionado, Paul Akeroyd, has done a splendid job in tracing the arc of Wes Hall's remarkable and wide-ranging life... Answering The Call features beautiful black and white and colour photographs... ........................................................... Stephen Chalke: Wes Hall...has sat for more than a hundred hours with Paul Akeroyd and talked about it all. The result is a fascinating slice of West Indian and cricket history, lovingly told in an easy-to-read style and rich with the inspiring values that have guided Wes Hall through his long and successful life. It was a book that was crying out to be written, and I take my hat off to Paul Akeroyd as author, John McKenzie as publisher, and above all, Wes Hall himself for undertaking the task and bringing it to fruition with such care. I recommend the book highly. ......................................................... David Woodhouse: This book is the antithesis of the sensational. Wesley Hall is far too well mannered to make much play of the controversial incidents in his career...Pauk Akeroyd has also devoted himself to providing an unflashy but comprehensive record of a remarkable life both on and off the cricket field rather than the kind of overwritten memoir sometimes now in fashion, But famous moments such as the last over of the tied Test at Brisbane and the last over of the drawn Test at Lord's in 1963 are excitingly remembered...
