Originally suppressed by the Test and County Cricket Board in 1985, 'Standing the Test of Time' is the controversial autobiography of the respected Test umpire and former Somerset cricket legend Bill Alley, revised and updated to include recent developments in the world game. Now in his 80th year and still living in Taunton, Alley tells of his remarkable rise from poverty in New South Wales, through Colne in the Lancashire League and breaking countless county records with Somerset, to umpiring on the international stage.
