Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A Corner of Every Foreign Field is an innovative and thought-provoking take on the history of cricket, looking beyond the scorecards to the pivotal issues of class, politics and imperialism that have shaped the game today. It charts how cricket has vied with football for power, commercial muscle and global reach, growing from a simple boys' game in England to a modern worldwide sport. In exploring cricket's evolution, Tim Brooks calls on the views and anecdotes of greats like W. G. Grace, Don Bradman, Viv Richards and Virat Kohli. Along the way, he peers deep into the game's soul and poses questions on behalf of every cricket fan. Is cricket truly global? Why did the game take root in some countries but not in others? What are the threats and opportunities for the sport? Who are the next cricket superpowers? How do you strike a balance between honouring tradition and reforming to capture the imagination of future generations? Written by an expert in the global development of cricket, the book sets out a unique vision for the future. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR011067526

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1987). 1987 1st edition. 8vo (157 x 241mm). Pp206. B/w photographs, illustrations, foreword by Phil Drabble. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Scratches to boards, slight browning and use. Good copy, lacks dust-wrapper. Author's inscription on title page, to Stephen and Janice Walker (involved in the book's production). A collection of John Moore's writing on country sports selected from his 40 books and his weekly articles in the Birmingham Mail. Compiled by his sister Daphne Moore with an introduction by Phil Drabble. "Some of Moore's finest writing encompassed angling, shooting, hunting and horses; his sister, Daphne Moore, has drawn together this collection of his writing on country sports. Although Moore regarded these sports as an integral part of an Englishman's love of the countryside he was also deeply interested in conservation long before it became fashionable and this is apparent in his writing. Daphne Moore introduces the anthology with a memoir of her brother and her notes bring special insights into his development as a writer. Writing in The Times when John Moore died in 1967, Sir Compton Mackenzie compared him with Gilbert White, Jefferies and Cobbett for like them he could capture in his writing the smell of river, field, hedgerow and copse. Sport and the English Countryside will be enjoyed by all those who share his passionate belief in the need to maintain the traditions of rural England in the modern world." . Seller Inventory # 45336
