The Spirit of Cricket: What Makes Cricket the Greatest Game on Earth

A glorious celebration of cricket would be more than adequate were it no more than a collection of anecdotes but what makes it truly outstanding is Rob Smyth's fluent seques and his affectionate commentary on the history of cricketing goodwill. This book will not appeal to anyone who knows nothing of cricket but it may help someone who knows the basic rules to understand why the game is so important to those of us who love it. ( )
