About this Item

Hardback. Do umpires hibernate? Will the new drains at Lord's ruin the mushrooms? What is a 'terribly good shot'? These are just three of the many searching questions raised by contributers to The Cricket since it first appeared in 1921. Alongside serious commentary on the state of the gasme and the reporting of memorable facts and feats, succesive editors of The Cricketer have never missed the opportunity to include creative writing in a lighter vain. This book is a collection of some of the most entertaining pieces - some hilarious, some whimsical and others delightfully evocative memories. Scattered throughout the book are some of the many cartoons and advertisements that have amused reader of The Crickert for over sixty years. Illustrations. Illustrated laminated boards. 144 pp. (The Manchester Guardian). Illustrations. 159 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
