Description

The cricket ball: an object of subtle richness and mystery at the heart of the game. Gary Cox explores its many guises, from new to old, live to dead, swing to dot ball. He delves into the complexities of spin bowling and the tricks involved in ball tampering, including the 2018 Australian scandal. Cox's biography takes a kaleidoscopic look at the cricket universe through various lenses: philosophy, science, history, politics, and more. Along the way, he reveals the heroes, fools, and villains created by this legendary orb. A comprehensive and engaging study of the cricket ball and its place in the game. This book offers a unique perspective on the sport, shedding light on the facts and figures that underpin it.
