More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
There is something for every cricket lover in "The England Cricket Miscellany". The England cricket team has a long and storied history, but this book is not exclusively a work of reference, or a compendium of lists, or a collection of biographies, or a compilation of trivia. It is a gloriously quirky mixture of all these things and much more besides. Within these pages, the reader will learn hundreds of fascinating facts about the England team on a wide range of topics, from the Bodyline Tour to Freddie Flintoff's nocturnal navigation of a pedalo, encompassing the notable feats with bat and ball of both the cricketing gods and their assistant pie-throwers and the epic Test match encounters in which they participated. A veritable cornucopia of information about the quintessential summer game, "The England Cricket Miscellany" will bring hours of reading pleasure to every fan.

Format:Hardcover
The contents are varied and interesting, although they jump from topic to topic a bit too often. However, there are certainly lots of titbits you won't find in other books. One little point: The same book has been published under another title: "England Cricket, Facts and Trivia", by the same author, publisher and in the same time frame, but is only available in certain cut-price stores. Why is this? The contents of the two are identical, the author's introduction and Geoffrey Boycott's foreword are the same in both. The format, page layout and page numbering are also identical. All that differs is the cover and jacket. So buyers beware, you may be purchasing a book you bought recently elsewhere.
