After a few weeks elsewhere Martin returns to Scottish cricket history this week, and another booklet in Richard Miller’s estimable series of reprints of long forgotten writings
CRICKET BOOKS
David Frith has updated his 1997 autobiography and, Archie having looked at its first incarnation, it is Martin’s turn to review the new edition
This week we have another review that is going to be of interest to followers of the Red Rose
It’s that time of year again, and this year Martin reviews the cricket book that needs no introduction
All we did was mention to Martin that he hadn’t reviewed anything about Lancashire cricket for a while ……
Just occasionally we feel the need to review a ‘big’ book from a major publisher, and the start of a new season in England feels like the right time to do so again
This is not a new book, but is a very good one, and a reminder that Max Bonnell’s next contribution to the game’s literature is now long overdue
Gulu Ezekiel’s latest book skilfully and entertainingly dismantles many myths about Indian cricket, although Martin seems to believe there is one that, on the other hand, he has simply helped to perpetuate
It’s back to the 1970s with this one, and memories of long sideburns, flared trousers and some memorable cricket
This one is destined to become a bit of a classic, and gains Greg Growden a posthumous five stars from Martin
