Reading a cricket book is meant to be an enjoyable and relaxing way of spending some leisure time.
CRICKET BOOKS
A ‘Pom’ justifying Bodyline? I will have to read this one! The only thing that is stopping me from banning it from the site, is that I hold the opinion of Martin in high esteem.
John Arlott writing on Fender’s coverage of Ashes series, wrote his accounts “were as precise in their reporting and as keenly and objectively analytical as any ever written.”
Archie in his element; reviewing a cricket book about a legend from cricket history.
A new book which continues the great tradition of Fatty Batter, but this time from a player who played at a high level. This week we have a twin review from David and Martin.
A book collectors dream, a rare dust jacket, on a hard to find book. All it is missing is the signature of the “Iron Duke.”

W.G, the Prince of wicket keepers, give me Arthur, and the Terror. All legends of the game and all feature in this book of the 1893 tour. See what Archie thought of this tour book.

It seems this is a miss rather than a hit, but still this review has me intrigued to see what Mr Fletcher had to say about those nasty Aussies.
