Description
Cricket has been an integral part of English culture for over 500 years. From its humble beginnings in the sixteenth century to its current status as a national obsession, the sport has undergone significant changes and transformations. This comprehensive history of English cricket explores the game's evolution, from its early forms to the modern-day spectacle. Simon Hughes, a writer with a deep understanding of the game, delves into the world of cricket, revealing the complexities and nuances that lie beneath its surface. He examines the characters who have shaped the sport, the lengths people will go to participate in it, and the ways in which it reflects and influences society as a whole. Through his analysis, Hughes debunks common myths about cricket sportsmanship and sheds light on the darker aspects of the game's history, including subterfuge, corruption, and violence. This book offers a fresh perspective on a beloved national pastime, one that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and culture of English cricket.
