Some spotting to top edge, signed 'Alan Haselhurst' to the title page. Alan Haslehurst MP is a former deputy Speaker of the House of Commons. The Outcasts - occasional cricketers and always consumers of fine ales - continue to flourish. Despite their record and reputation they are able to maintain a full fixture list. Usually unfit and frequently hung over, the Outcasts play some peculiar cricket in what nearly always turns out to be extraordinary circumstances. Drawn against their better judgement into a pre-season warm-up game against a school team, they find themselves in a veritable war zone which calls as much for SAS-style tactics as for cricket prowess. In an undistiguished season they are tempted to take time off for a luxury weekend in the country with no more than a charity match to play. Some luxury, some charity! The Outcasts become involved in village life - and death - in entirely unpredictable ways. Signed Without Inscription. Book.
