Items related to Arm-ball to Zooter: A Sideways Look at the Language...
What's the difference between short leg and deep midwicket? When would you be thinking about bowling a yorker? What's so great about the sound of leather on willow? Cricket’s vocabulary is a mixture of jargon and cliché, poetry and prose, misty-eyed romanticism and old-gits’ cynicism. Arm-ball to Zooter is a witty guide to the peculiarities of the game, its history and major figures; cricket-lovers might find their own pet hates confirmed; cricket newcomers might be amazed at what cricket-lovers have been up to all these years.

Review:
A witty and readable guide to the words that matter...
indispensable for newcomers and veterans alike. -- SPORT magazine
Chatty, amusing (plus Nick Newman's delightful cartoon A to Z)...
A cricketer's dip-in book for the Christmas stocking. -- WISDEN CRICKETER magazine
Cricket's ability to fit the new alongside the old grins happily
out of Lawrence Booth's entertaining writing. -- SUNDAY TIMES -- BOOK OF THE WEEK
I looked up a word and was sucked in. Two hours -- and several
belly laughs -- later I resurfaced.
