| Description: | Select Guide Rating Cricket is a strange game. It is a team sport that is almost entirely dependent on individual performance. Blending legendary players, from Vivian Richards to Mark Ramprakash, Kevin Pietersen to Ricky Ponting, and with his own cricketing story, the author explores the funny, moving and melancholic impact the game can have on an individual life. Cricket is a strange game. It is a team sport that is almost entirely dependent on individual performance. Its combination of time, opportunity and the constant threat of disaster can drive its participants to despair. To survive a single delivery propelled at almost 100 miles an hour takes the body and brain to the edges of their capabilities, yet its abiding image is of the gentle village green, and the glorious absurdities of the amateur game. |
