This week Martin reviews a recent offering from the ACS, and one which he seems to have thoroughly enjoyed
CRICKET BOOKS
We are delighted to present a guest review from South African Tim Dale Lace, whose thoughts on the game can be found on twitter, as Tim-CricketGuy, @Tim32_cricket
Somerset’s Henry Stanley was a product of cricket’s ‘Golden Age’, albeit one some way from the front rank of amateur batsmen. Barry Phillips’ book painstakingly reconstructs his life, and tells a very Victorian story
This week we review two recent books from Gideon Haigh, with Jon looking at what is, with all due respect to Martin’s assignment, undoubtedly the more significant
This one is an unusual and perhaps even off the wall look at links between Australian cricket and the wool industry, but the author is Gideon Haigh, so it works very well
Martin much enjoyed Max Bonnell’s latest book, and Archie confirms in his review that this limited edition is well worth seeking out
This week Martin reviews a new book about a true giant of the game, and a great personal favourite
Unfortunately one or two quality books do occasionally slip past us unnoticed. With this review Martin puts one such deficiency right
In recent months we have had a succession of quality biographical books from Australian historians, a trend that Max Bonnell continues with this one
In this review Jon dusts off and looks again at the first cricket book he ever read – perhaps it is something other members of the team should do?
