CRICKET BOOKS

With the start of the 2019 Cricket World Cup fast approaching this week we review a new book that looks closely at the competition and its history

Getting on for two years after its release we finally get around to reviewing Steve Harmison’s 2017 autobiography

As recently promised Martin has finally got round to reading and reviewing Max Bonnell’s 2001 book, Currency Lads

Cricket does produce a bewildering range of subjects for the bibliophile, and this new book from Christopher Saunders Publishing certainly finds an unusual one

This week, better late than never, we get round to looking at one of the best received cricket books of 2018

In this self published labour of love Renato Carini examines the legacy left by Victor Trumper, and like others before him demonstrates why cricketers should never be judged by statistics alone

Two five star books in as many weeks is certainly a first, and not a decision that was taken lightly, but we feel we have a responsibility to tell it how it is

A book to bring back happy memories for Warwickshire supporters, but this splendid reminder of how the English domestic game worked before the advent of T20 should be of much wider appeal

Derbyshire have only won the County Championship once, a story that is superbly told in this book by John Shawcroft
