Product Description
Book Description
A cricket book unlike any other, packed with anecdotes on the history of the game
Product Description
Never before has the whole world of cricket been collected in one, really quite large volume.
Les Scott has collected a lifetime of anecdotes, records, quotes and cuttings to make The Essential Cricket Book. With a century of sections detailing everything from balls and slips to pavilions, umpires and teas; all the Test-playing nations, first-class counties as well as minor counties and clubs, plus universities; tournaments from the Ashes through the old John Player League to the Sheffield Shield (not to mention the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash); bizarre dismissals and of course LBWs, all the great games and characters of cricket are brought to life.
It's all here: the first player to wear a helmet, the first man to attempt a reverse sweep, the games when camels (or mackerels) stopped play, the batsmen given out 'absent, thought lost on the Tube' and 'retired, suffering from measles', or simply the last England bowler to take a wicket with the first ball of a Test Match.

Format:Hardcover
I am very pleased with this book. It gives me a lot of information about cricket in general and in detail. One can pick it up anywhere and open it at any place and soon something is read that leads on to other, perhaps, interesting information or perhaps to things out of the ordinary. If you want particular information about anything cricket you will most likely find it in this book.
Listmania!
