About this product
Product Information
Cricket is defined by the characters who have played it, watched it, reported it, ruled upon it, ruined it and rejoiced in it. Humorous and deeply affectionate, Cricketing Lives tells the story of the world's greatest and most incomprehensible game through those who have shaped it, from the rustic contests of eighteenth-century England to the spectacle of the Indian Premier League. It's about W. G. Grace and his eye to his wallet; the invincible Viv Richards; and Sarah Taylor, 'the best wicketkeeper in the world . . . male or female'. Paying homage, too, to the game's great writers, Richard H. Thomas steers a course through the despair of war, tactical controversies and internecine politics, to reveal how cricket has always stormed back to warm our hearts as nothing else can.Product Identifiers

Lovely Quality Book with entertaining contents
I am told so by the cricket loving person I bought it for, but I also know the author personally and his witty writing style, so it will be entertaining as well as factual. I've asked for a lend of it back, so that I, knowing nothing about cricket will learn something of the game but in a much more relaxed style than a stuffy rule book. I had the hardback version, which is a beautifully produced book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
