The funniest cricket book you'll read this year, by one of the game's brightest writers
Lawrence Booth writes about cricket for the Guardian and the Sunday Times. In addition to his print work, he writes 'The Spin', the Guardian website's irreverent cricket email, and has frequently contributed to their acclaimed over-by-over coverage. He is the author of two previous books and in 2011 he was appointed to the prestigious role of editor of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2011. He lives in south-west London.
It is a great virtue in a cricket writer, the ability to flourish a
polished anecdote or a droll quotation like a man embellishing an
engaging conversation... Anything [Booth] writes is going to be
worth reading
