Riassunto

Did you know that cricket is the second most popular sport in the world and has been an established team sport for centuries, with more than 100 cricket-playing nations now recognised by the International Cricket Council? No doubt those questions haven t left cricket aficionados remotely stumped, but be prepared to be caught out by the 1,000 leg-breaking quiz questions in this book. Your innings will require you to recall facts and figures relating to every possible aspect of the game of cricket from players to umpires and national to international matches, together with all kinds of trivia, so you could very easily find yourself in a real spin and may need to enlist the help of friends to bail you out before a sneaky Chinaman bowls you over, slips you up or reduces you to a pile of ashes. Whether you find yourself top of the batting order or limping with a square leg, this book, with a fitting foreword by Dickie Bird, contains a wealth of knowledge about the sport that is guaranteed to enthral all cricket fans, and questions that will stimulate fond memories and friendly debates for many an entertaining hour.

Recensione:

For anyone interested in cricket and a desire to test their knowledge of the game, Alan Finch, Chris Cowlin, and Adam Pearson have put their heads together to come up with a truly wonderful quiz - The Cricket Quiz Book. The book contains 1,000 questions dealing with all aspects of the subject, and no other book to my knowledge presents such an in-depth group of questions on the topic. In attempting to answer the questions, not only was it enjoyable, but it proved to be highly educational - I became aware of all kinds of facts I never knew about a game I thought I was familiar with. The book gets five stars from me - don't fail to buy a copy --Joel Rothman, Author of Various Sports Books

This book is a thoroughly enjoyable 'quizzical' masterpiece no cricket fan can afford to be without... What's more, it is akin to watching an explosive Twenty20 match from the front-seat -- and, a fun way to test your knowledge of the game... along the way! --Rajgopal Nidamboor, Author of 'Cricket Boulevard'

Even as someone who is not an avid follower of cricket I found this quiz book something that is easy to dip into Twenty-Twenty style or an absorbing Test of knowledge over the full five day span --Alan Hubbard, Independent on Sunday (Sports Columnist)
