There are no prizes for guessing who has spent the last week reading and reviewing a couple of specialist publications on the subject of less well known Lancashire cricketers
CRICKET BOOKS
This week Martin reviews something that is still not very common, a cricket book published in South Africa. By the way, not that we’re running short or anything, but if any of our readers would like to submit a review for publishing on the site we would be delighted to receive it,
Kevin Pietersen is almost the forgotten man of English cricket these days, but not so long ago he was the biggest draw in the land and in demand with his publisher – is his 2015 book worth a look?
Regular readers can rest assured that enquiries are in hand to establish whether Martin has changed allegiance, after this second review of a book about Somerset cricket in consecutive weeks
Meticulous research does not, in isolation, make an interesting book, but there are plenty more plus points for Stephen Hill’s new book about early Somerset cricketers
Readers will have noticed long ago that at CricketWeb we are always willing to look outside the mainstream of cricket publishing, and Rick Smith’s latest project proves once again that it is a wise policy to do so
It is remarkable how some cricket watching experiences never dim in our minds – they are stories that should be shared, and David Battersby’s latest offering shows just how easy it is to do that
It’s been done before and, given how popular these books seem to be will doubtless be done again. Who are your 100 favourite cricketers? Almost certainly not the same as Geoff Armstong’s, or indeed the Mac’s
After the Book of the Year discussions we allowed Martin to reclaim his red rose tinted spectacles – we suspect he hasn’t taken them off since they were returned
2016 has been an excellent year for cricket books, and the authors chosen by Cricketweb for our awards have all been exceptionally generous with their time – we are very grateful to all five
