Synopsis
Cricket Writers' Club Book of the Year - Shortlisted
Cricket Society and MCC Book of the Year - Longlisted
What must English cricket do to survive?
Faced with a rapidly changing cultural and economic landscape, county cricket finds itself at the most uncertain period of a history spanning more than 150 years.
Through interviews with more than 100 of English cricket’s most important figures, Batting for Time takes an inside look at:
- The precarious state of the sport, asking what it is we expect from our domestic game, who it primarily exists for and where things might go in the future
- The threats that global franchise leagues pose to cricket’s foundations amid growing concern that the best English players will soon turn their back on the domestic game
- The desperate need for cash that many believe could rip the heart out of county clubs
- The civil wars that have developed between the sport’s traditionalists and modernisers, romantics and pragmatists
Using the 2023 season as a backdrop, Batting for Time explores a sport in existential crisis. It is a must-read for cricket fans.
