Sticky Dogs and Stardust: When the Legends Played in the Leagues - Hardcover
Book 1 of 3: Sticky Dogs and Stardust
Synopsis
WISDEN BOOK OF THE YEAR – Winner JM KILBURN CRICKET WRITER OF THE YEAR - Winner CRICKET SOCIETY/MCC BOOK OF THE YEAR - Shortlisted SPORTS BOOK AWARDS - Shortlisted
No other sport offers up stories quite like the ones collected in Sticky Dogs and Stardust – When the Legends Played in the Leagues. Only cricket – and especially the club cricket of England and the British Isles – allows recreational players to rub shoulders with international stars and even superstars in a fully competitive context, providing them with some of the most cherished memories of their lives.
The golden age of this type of story has now passed. The reasons are obvious. Chief among them is the earning power of top players, both from central contracts and on the franchise Twenty20 circuit, as well as the fact that international and franchise schedules increasingly impinge upon the UK summer. These stories are not entirely obsolete, however, although they will most often involve players taking their first steps on the road to superstardom, future stars before they became household names. Then there are players in the twilight of their careers, if not former stars then certainly with their highest peaks behind them. And between the springtime baby steps and the autumnal last knockings, there are a clutch of chapters involving cricketers in their high-summer pomp, living legends treading the league cricket boards. These magical stories are unique to cricket. And yet no one has collected them in one place. Until now.

About the Author
Scott Oliver turned to freelance features writing in 2012 after completing an arduous PhD on Peronist Argentina – mainly about sport, although he has written on culture and politics for the Guardian, the New European, New Statesman, VICE and others. A regular contributor of football longforms to The Blizzard, Mundial and The Ringer, cricket is nevertheless his first love. He has written hundreds of pieces on a multitude of topics – some about the superstar overseas pros featured in this book – for ESPNcricinfo, Cricbuzz, the Cricketer and Wisden Cricket Monthly, for whom he has been club cricket correspondent since its 2017 re-launch, compiling the much-loved “Club Cricket Hall of Fame” series. This is his first book.
