Synopsis
Have you ever been in the position of watching a game of cricket with friends or a cricket "widow" who would perhaps like to converse more fluently (or even at all!) with a cricket-loving mate? Do you get your silly mid offs confused with your short legs? And why do cricketers rub their ball on their trousers?
Here at last is a witty and revealing book that demystifies the jargon and answers all the questions you've always wanted to ask. Illustrated with pithy (and instructive) cartoons, it explains where cricket came from, what happens on the field, what the tactics are and the dos and don'ts of being a spectator.
If you've ever made a fool of yourself in the pavilion, wondered how to tell who's winning (or even how long the match is going on), then Robert Eastway, co-inventor of the Coopers & Lybrand World Cricket Ratings, has written just the book for you!
