Il cricket è uno strano gioco. È uno sport di squadra che dipende quasi interamente dalle prestazioni individuali. La sua combinazione di tempo, opportunità e la costante minaccia di disastro può portare i suoi partecipanti alla disperazione. Per sopravvivere a una singola consegna lanciata a quasi 100 miglia orarie, il corpo e il cervello sono al limite delle loro capacità, ma la sua immagine costante è quella del dolce verde del villaggio e delle gloriose assurdità del gioco amatoriale. In The Meaning of Cricket, Jon Hotten tenta di comprendere questo sport affascinante, frustrante e complesso. Mescolando giocatori leggendari, da Vivian Richards a Mark Ramprakash, Kevin Pietersen a Ricky Ponting, con la sua storia personale di cricket, esplora l'impatto divertente, commovente e malinconico che il gioco può avere sulla vita di un individuo.
