About this product

Product Information

A beautifully illustrated journey through the history and evolution of cricket, from one of our greatest sports writers. 'Hotten is not just good, he is one of the best' Cricketer The Elements of Cricket is a cricket book unlike any other published before, an extraordinary, eccentric guide and charming visual representation of the game, from the weather and wood that make it possible to the achievements of its greatest and most famous players. The book is divided into the three parts that make up the fundamental elements of cricket: bat, ball and field. Their harmony produces cricket's unique environment; their centuries' long conflict provides its innovation, adaptability and vast psychological hinterland. These sections unite to map out in a completely original way the story of the sport that began as a country pursuit and is now followed by billions across the world.

  • Grabs you by the bat and balls

    Good easy reading book, with some historical content although not a full history of cricket. My wife will appreciate all the descriptions of fielding positions and the different grips required for bowling a variety of deliveries. Hopefully she will have a better understanding of why cricket means so much to me.
