CRICKET BOOKS
Ultra slim volumes of cricket literature can still be interesting, and this week Martin looks at a couple of new ones from David Battersby, beginning with a look at a long forgotten ‘experiment’ from 1981 involving that summer’s Australian tourists
Not for the first time, and doubtless not the last either, Martin has been reviewing a book which, for at least part of its subject matter, looks at the 1932/33 Bodyline series
This week we have a very welcome review from David, his first in a while. We hope he doesn’t leave it so long next time
Many club histories are published, but they have rarely been reviewed on CricketWeb, an imbalance that this week’s review from Archie starts to put right

As the audience for the women’s game grows there will inevitably be an increase in the number of books on the subject. This week Martin has a look at a historical offering from the ACS
Here at CricketWeb we are very keen on the ACS ‘Lives in Cricket’ series, but haven’t yet reviewed any of their latest venture, the ‘Cricket Witness’ series – this week we remedy that
We had a feeling Martin would enjoy this one, and it seems we were right
Not a major work, and better described as a somewhat ephemeral souvenir than a piece of cricket literature, but nonetheless this one seems to be an interesting read
