CRICKET BOOKS
Yet another hit for Martin, he seems to be only reviewing quality reads of late. I don’t know about the other readers of this section but I am struggling to keep up with all the titles I need to acquire!
It appears that Archie may have been wearing his Aussie hat when he wrote this review, but don’t let that put you off from reading his opinions of Haigh’s 2009 wrap.
Reading a cricket book is meant to be an enjoyable and relaxing way of spending some leisure time.
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.”
Finally one of the boys reviews a book that I have read! The author David Foot is one of the best cricket writers at bringing to life the ‘man’ and not just the cricketer.
