About this product
Product Information
Michael Simkins is in desperate need of some quiet coaching. In middle-age he still believes, despite what everyone tells him, that the England middle order might usefully benefit from his hard-earned skills. He s also a man who thinks it is OK to get your wife to spend the whole of your wedding anniversary operating a scoreboard in what she describes as 'a meaningless encounter between pathetic no-hopers'. Even when scattering his own mother s ashes his thoughts stray to another urn. This is the hilarious story of one man s lifelong obsession with cricket. From his earliest awkward days as a fat boy growing up in a Brighton sweetshop to his years running a team of dysfunctional inadequates still chasing the sweet spot, cricket has offered a shelter from life s irksome realities and a place in which to quietly dream. That place is a peculiarly English arcadia of occasional wondrous beauty, forests of comforting statistics and the endless life-affirming rituals of defeat, humiliation and disappointment the perfect net practice for life.Product Identifiers

A compelling read that is great to dip into.
In my 63 years this is the best book that I have ever read on cricket. The writer is of a similar age and transmits me back to a time when I developed a love of cricket. If you are of a similar age or similar want to know what cricket was like in those days you will not find a better book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
