Format:Hardcover
a really wonderful book- my nephew (12) is absolutely hooked (it's great to see him with a book rather than with his Xbox....) It's a proper old-fashioned 'album' type of hardback, full of brilliant art and so much information. It also looks really expensive, so it's a real talking point if you leave it on the coffee table!

Fab book could not put it down some of Illustrations are out of this world and the explanations by John Holder on the laws of cricket unravel so many miss conceptions I think this should be the new cricket Bible

Really enjoyed this book and bought it after reading good reviews in the cricket mags and having frequently read the scenarios in the Sunday Observer. A good series of testing questions and nicely illustrated scenarios and portraits for anyone with an interest in cricket. Recommended+++
