Description: The Good Murungu? is the story of Alan Butcher coaching Zimbabwe - the most dysfunctional of cricket's Test-playing nations. From the point he applied for the job and taking in three years with the team, this is the fascinating story of a coach trying to build a team while coming to terms with the unique culture of Mugabe's Zimbabwe.
Synopsis: Former county cricketer and one-time England Test batsman Alan Butcher was looking for a new challenge after leaving his job coaching Surrey County Cricket Club. A phone call out of the blue from a Zimbabwean great alerted him to the possibility of coaching the nation's cricket team. His three years in charge presents an insight into the at times schizophrenic nature of cricket in this intriguing country. Starting at the point when Butcher was offered the job, he describes the process of moulding a team out of a dispirited and disillusioned group of players. Part cricket memoir, part travelogue, part ode to Zimbabwe, part lament for a beautiful-but-troubled country, The Good Murungu? is a fascinating insight into Zimbabwean cricket.
