The Outcasts CC always set off to their matches with the best intentions (so they say) - so why do their matches always bring the game into such disrepute? Now the mayhem goes global. From small town Australia to a country house somewhere in Hertfordshire, cricket's most notorious club becomes ever more entangled with the most deplorable behaviour. In "Accidentally Cricket", village cricket meets the world of celebrity - supposedly. The result is neither pretty nor excusable.

Another excellent read - I'm not normally a cricket fan but these books have proved me wrong.
Keep writing Sir Alan!

Essential summer reading. Every page was read with a smile on my face. The characters are created with real wit and their adventures ensure you'll finish the book with a hankering for village fetes, eventful cricket matches and real ale...

Another fondly written and brilliantly illustrated outing for the Outlaws.
The best fictional cricket book you're likely to read this year - it left me bowled over!

Having read Occasionally Cricket, Eventually Cricket and Incidentally Cricket, I was pleased to hear that Sir Alan's latest book, Accidentally Cricket, had finally landed. I am delighted to say that Sir Alan really has hit a six with his latest book, proving that he's more than capable of an agriculture shot.
The book contains thrills and humour, demonstrating that Sir Alan truly is an all rounder.
One can only wonder what shenanigans The Outcasts CC will get up to next?!

Sir Alan has the ability to make you feel as if you are in the middle of the action, whether it is on the cricket pitch, the refreshment tent or elsewhere!
I can't wait to discover what happens in the next book.

This book seems to be an attempt to make a Tom Sharpe-like hilarious disaster out of a cricket match, which doesn't really work. It is funny to an extent, but not very. The ingredients are there - a country-house cricket match, with a burglar afoot, sex in the ambulance van, fancy dress, mistaken identities.... But it never really comes together into the savage denouement of a Tom Sharpe farce. Although it is about amateur cricket, that does not excuse some of the amateur touches, for example the names of individuals and renaming of St John's Ambulance. It is worth reading, but will be quickly forgotten.
