Book Synopsis All in a Day's Cricket by : Brian Levison
Download or read book All in a Day's Cricket written by Brian Levison and published by Constable. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of the very best, and most intriguing, writing on cricket, drawn from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day, adopts a fresh approach. It is arranged around the theme of the many things that must happen simply for a day's play to happen - from creating a clearing in a Malaysian jungle to getting to the ground - so includes, alongside writing by players both great and unknown, the perspectives of spectators, umpires, scorers and other unsung heroes of the game. There are contributions from John Arlott, Neville Cardus, C. L. R. James and E. V. Lucas; Marcus Trescothick writes on his introduction to cricket aged three; Angus Fraser on meeting Nelson Mandela; Phil Tufnell on being shanghaied into getting a haircut by Mike Gatting; and Rachael Heyhoe Flint on being the first woman to step onto the Lord's ground as a player. But it is the cricket itself and the outstanding players and their achievements that remain the focus - the greats of the recent and distant past involved in some of their most famous exploits. From 'disgraceful scenes at Lord's', described by Irish writer Robert Lynd, to North America, which W. G. Grace toured in 1872, and from a match played on ice to the tropical islands of Fiji and Samoa, this is a collection that does full justice to the extraordinary breadth, diversity and enduring fascination of the greatest game in the world.

Book excerpt: This is the true story of my life, my auto biography. The events all happened. Only the names of some of the participants have been changed. The story may well be biased, but it is how I remember it and if in the telling, I have done injustice to anyone then I am sorry. If I come across as conceited, shallow, or too clever for my own good, or without conscience I put my hand up and say so be it. It was truly a good life and I am grateful to all those I met on my life's long journey. Particularly my wife and my family without who's support, even when I let them down, has sustained me at all times.

Book Synopsis The Politics of South African Cricket by : Jon Gemmell
Download or read book The Politics of South African Cricket written by Jon Gemmell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of South African Cricket analyses the relationship between politics and sport, in particular cricket, in South Africa. South African Cricket embraces an ethos that is symbolic of a wider held belief system and as such has distinctive political connotations in the region. Sport in South Africa is certainly influenced by forces beyond the playing field, but politics too can be influenced by the social and economic force of sport. Focusing on the sports boycott as a political strategy, Jon Gemmell analyses the relationship between sport and politics through a historical analysis of South African cricket. He employs case studies to explore the relationship between politics and South African cricket and argues convincingly that cricket assisted the reform process by undermining the legitimacy of the apartheid regime.

Book Synopsis You Must Like Cricket? by : Soumya Bhattacharya
Download or read book You Must Like Cricket? written by Soumya Bhattacharya and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great C L R James once asked: 'What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?' For some of us answering that can keep you awake at night. Soumya Bhattacharya knows this: he has a steady job, a loving wife, a daughter he dotes on. But most of all he has cricket. Or perhaps more accurately: cricket has him. Ever since he can remember, he's loved the game. From his first knockabouts on the living-room carpet - with his mother's paper bats and balls - he progressed to Test Match Special on short-wave, then to the whole panoply of obsession: one-dayers, Test matches, TV highlights, re-runs of TV highlights, always following one team - India. When you come from a country where the game is more than a religion, you must like cricket, right? In this sparkling memoir of a lifetime spent in the company of eleven men, a green field and a billion other worshippers, Soumya Bhattacharya gives us a guided tour of the soul of a cricket obsessive. Part reportage, part travelogue, part cultural politics, You Must Like Cricket? takes us from his home in Kolkata to Lord's and back again as Bhattacharya explores the joys and the lows (mostly the lows) of a thirty-year love affair, how one game has become so closely tied to a nation's identity, and the troubling hold cricket has over him. But if your home ground was called Eden Gardens, where else would you rather be?
