Summary
This selection of the very best, and most intriguing, writing on cricket, drawn from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day, adopts a fresh approach. It is arranged around the theme of the many things that must happen simply for a day’s play to happen - from creating a clearing in a Malaysian jungle to getting to the ground - so includes, alongside writing by players both great and unknown, the perspectives of spectators, umpires, scorers and other unsung heroes of the game.

Critics Review
There is a treat around every corner … this will stay on the bedside table for some time … It is a splendid reminder that we have the best game in the worlds, and the best writers too.
There is a treat around every corner … this will stay on the bedside table for some time … It is a splendid reminder that we have the best game in the worlds, and the best writers too. - All Out Cricket
Ranges far and wide through the literature of the game … almost certainly the only book in history to combine the best bits of Gus Fraser and Charles Dickens. Something for everyone then. - GuardianAbout The Author
