Description
Cricket Lovely Cricket is a journey around the perennially curious world of cricket leaving no metaphorical leg-break unturned and peering at the game from every conceivable angle. Here Lawrence Booth who had little option but to turn a youthful obsession with the game into a means of paying the mortgage seeks to consider the questions that crop up on a daily basis but rarely receive a satisfactory answer. What are the players really like? What is the secret of sledging? Why get so worked up about the Ashes? Why all the clich s? And how did India take over the world?
Taking the reader to the heart of a game that seems more capable than any other of bewitching its followers this is a captivating look at the way cricket has become what it is today - and what given a fair wind it might be like in the future.
