Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket Explained offers the sports enthusiast a user-friendly introduction to baseball's British cousin, a game that shares with America's national pastime the common ancestor "rounders." This is the definitive beginner's guide to the game of cricket, written by Robert Eastaway, a world authority on the sport, and co-inventor of the Coopers & Lybrand World Cricket Ratings System. Cricket Explained takes the reader from the game's fundamental --basic rules, terminology, equipment --to the finer points of strategy, individual playing styles, and cricket lore. The book includes a combined glossary/index for easy reference and is illustrated throughout with the lighthearted drawings of British cartoonist Mark Stevens. So even if you don't know "short leg" from "silly mid off" or a bowler from a batsman, you'll come away from Cricket Explained with an understanding for this truly international sport which, like baseball, is loved both for its elegant simplicity and its vexing complexity. Among the topics covered in Cricket Explained's concise, user-friendly entries are: -- Cricket's history -- Making sense of the action on the field -- Batsmen and the batting order -- Fielders and fielding positions -- Fielding and batting tactics -- Scoring and statistics -- Bowling strategy -- How many players are required -- How runs are scored, outs are made, and a game is won -- Umpires and the rules -- Bowlers and their individual styles -- Different types of cricket played throughout the world

Book excerpt: Cricket in America achieved its greatest acclaim, most extensive organization and highest level of competition in Philadelphia in the mid-19th century. The city took upon itself the burden of representing the entire U.S. during the sport's emerging international popularity. It was a story of amazing successes, abysmal failures and engaging personalities--like John B. King, revered to this day as one of the all-time greatest players--and eventual decline and demise. This meticulously researched history examines the origin and rise of a sport's legacy that, even in its demise, would endure as a lost vision of America's sporting destiny.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spalding's Official Cricket Guide: With Which Is Incorporated the American Cricket Annual for 1914 It would be impossible to lay down any cast-iron reason for the fact that general interest in cricket has increased by leaps and bounds in the last thirty years. The fact is incontrovertible, whatever the cause may be, but to most of those who have watched the course of cricket events, the progress of competition cricket will present itself as the primary cause of the progress of the game, as a whole. At the same time. There is a fair field left for those who choose to maintain that the impetus given to competitive cricket is really due to the rapid Spread of the game itself and the attendant enthusiasm of its admirers: while there is, as usual. A third course left to us. Which is to maintain that the two things, general cricket and competitive cricket, have advanced, each owing much to the other.
