Product Description
This book is described in film director Sam Mendes' 2001 foreword as "one of a kind" and it is, with books giving an insight into the mystical world of captaincy representing something of a curious gap in the world of cricket literature. Seemingly inspired by the Aussies' eagerly-anticipated and imminent arrival in England in 2001, this is a re-print of Brearley's 1985 classic covering all aspects from how to choose a captain, through selection, decision-making, batting tactics, fielding/bowling tactics and so on.

If you like cricket, books on aspects of cricket history and cricket memoir are wonderfully entertaining as they tell a good story. However, most such books fail to give the reader much insight or understanding of the complexities that you need to understand the essentially simple game of cricket. Overlapping on both historical text and memoir, Brearley's book fills that gap perfectly. Cricket has countless nuances and Brearley expertly covers most of them here, in a way that not only entertains but informs. No other cricket book I have read covers tactics, strategies and tips as thoroughly as this one. Not suitable as an introduction to cricket in itself but an essential text for those wishing to further understand the subtleties of cricket.
