It has been a while since we reviewed a book from the ACS Lives in Cricket series, so Martin has been tasked with reading their most recent offering
CRICKET BOOKS
This week, after his recent excursions into mass market titles, Martin reviews a book that is not, by definition, ever going to be a bestseller
After reading KP’s autobiography Martin has been reading the latest book of another of the ‘big beasts’ of the English game
Mean, moody, magnificent and also generally silent during his playing career – does Big Curtley’s autobiography make for a compelling read?
This week Martin reviews David Tossell’s latest book. It seems it’s not quite as good as ‘Grovel!’, but then what could be?
We don’t review too many bestsellers on CricketWeb, but felt we ought to add our two penn’orth to the huge number of words written about this one, so Martin took a deep breath ………….
This year a classic biography from the 1970s has had a 21st century makeover, and emerges as good as ever
After the release last year of the second book on the first international tour, Archie takes a look at the first, originally published way back in 1860 shortly after the tourists returned home
The world of sport’s greatest annual publication has now reached its 151st edition and, as Archie’s review demonstrates, it is as indispensable as ever
Despite his occasional protestations to the contrary we suspect that Martin actually enjoys his day job, and that therefore with this book James Wilson was, realistically, bowling at an unguarded set of stumps
