Thanks, but could someone please italicise "W.G. Grace" in the last paragraph? It makes a rather clumsy review even clumsier.

"Rodney Ulyate"? Bah! That's just a pseudonym. The real name's Neville Cardus.

Saw Ponting's 2007 captain's diary for half price 15 bucks at Borders so picked that up. Also got The Summer Game, The Big Ship and Miller's Luck recently. Pretty sure I have no more room left in the cricket section of my bookshelf. Might have to get rid of the Russian Lit section to make room

Read the "Summer Game"

My favourite cricket book, and I have read more than I care to mention

If there's one cricket book I've always wanted to read it's C.L.R James' 'Beyond the Boundary' I've got it out of the library a couple of times but never managed to get into it. I'm going to make a promise now to read it by the end of the summer

He presented a copy to G.Bush Sr who asked a few questions on the game. When GB found out that a game could last 5 days and not have a victor, his eyes glassed over, clearly indicating his disinterest in spending the time learning about such a sport

Anyway here is a review of a very old cricket book Seventy-One Not Out

You'd be surprised at what these vague sources hold. I found a ton of info in old New Zealand papers recently.
