Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Dan Liebkes debut cricket book, The Instant Cricket Library, youll find excerpts from a number of remarkable cricket books, none of which youve ever read beforebecause none of them actually existed. Theres I, Pad, Shane Watsons infamous manifesto arguing that the LBW Law should be abolished. Theres Out of My Ed, in which youll discover the truth about the real Ed Cowan. Theres a Banner-Man comic book, a Mitch Marsh play, and much more. Theyre all part of the Instant Cricket Library.Imagine a world after a complete societal collapse. A big collapse, like Australia on a raging Chennai turner. In this dystopian future, all of the worlds cricket books have been destroyed. Nothing remains, not eventhe Steve Waugh autobiographies, which were previously believed to be impervious not just to casual readers, but to all known forms of physical damage. And yet, a hardy group of researchers search desperately for hintsof what might have been lost. A title here. A snippet of text there. A tattered cover somewhere else. They gather all the clues theyve discovered of the lost world of cricketing literature, and enter them into a hastily constructed supercomputer.Finally, with a burst of makeshift artificial intelligence, they extrapolate from those fragments and regenerate a complete cricket library in an instant. This instant cricket library is a marvel of resourcefulness, and aglorious tribute to the ingenuity and determination of humanity, even whenfaced with the most nightmarish and cricketless of futures.Just because a cricket book never existed doesnt mean its not worth reading.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Dan Liebke is a comedy writer and former Nathan Hauritz impersonator. He was aregular contributor for MAD magazine in Australia for two decades before coming tohis senses and turning his comic focus to cricket.In addition to a social media presence on Twitter (atliebcricket), Dan has alsocontributed articles making fun of cricket and cricketers to websites such as TheGuardian, Cricket365 and FirstPost. Hes also a regular on the Cant Bowl, Cant Throwcricket podcast and White Line Wireless internet radio commentary.Liebke was once the official scorer for ABC Radio for a Test, which was rather a neattrick as it was the first time hed ever scored a cricket match. (Shhh, dont tell Aunty).Dan is a genuine all-rounder, equally inept with both bat and ball, and he steadfastlybelieves that cricket is the funniest, and hence best, sport that humanity has everinvented.
