Others might instead regard it as heaven. The world of cricket is nevertheless one that is filled with larger than life characters – be they the <b>great players</b>, the <b>unforgettable commentators</b>, the <b>legendary umpires </b>or the most enthusiastic and barmiest fans. The contest between leather and willow is, after all, only challenged by soccer as the <b>world's most popular sport</b>.<br><br><i>The Wicket Wit of Cricket</i> is a sumptuous feast of cricket’s greatest tales, legends and anecdotes all spread out across the clubhouse table in bite-sized pieces. Bringing together the sport’s most famous <b>quips</b>, <b>insults</b>, <b>pranks</b>, <b>mishaps</b>, <b>incredible facts</b>, outrageous incidents, plus all those <b>great moments</b> of commentary where the words did not come out quite as intended. This is a book packed not just with wicked wit but with wicket wit as well!</p> |
