Dalla quarta di copertina
The world of cricket never fails to produce a wealth of stories, from incredible feats and dreadful performances to the downright bizarre and, let's face it, plain stupid.
In Bats, Balls & Bails: The Essential Cricket Book, renowned anecdote hunter and gatherer Les Scott has collected everything you could possibly want to know about this most sublime of sports - and quite certainly a few things that defy belief.
Who was the first player to wear a helmet? When did camels, mackerel and an iguana stop play (not simultaneously, we hasten to add)? What is the origin of the word 'umpire'? Which players were given out for being 'absent, thought lost on the Tube', 'thinking he was caught' and 'retired, suffering from measles'? When did A. Fielder set a record, and what was so special about L.B.W Forten (think about it!)?
From Fred Trueman trivia to Bradman's batting brilliance, the occasional lack of Grace from the iconic W.G to the belligerence of Botham, Bats, Balls & Bails brings all the great games and characters from cricketing lore to life. In a handy century of sections, with quotes, notes and comprehensive records from counties and minor clubs to international tournaments (not forgetting the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash), it is simply a book no cricket-loving household should be without.
