Description
A treasure trove of cricket memories and reflections, On Cricket is a collection of sparkling essays that explore the human side of the game. Mike Brearley shares his unique perspective on the sport he has come to know so well, from personal influences to the most contentious issues in professional cricket. Breachley's thoughtful analysis ranges from the influence of his Yorkshire father and childhood idols to the impact of cheating, corruption, and innovation on the game. He also evaluates his heroes, including Viv Richards, Bishan Bedi, and Dennis Lillee, as well as the enduring legacy of C.L.R. James. Insightful and humorous, On Cricket offers a nuanced exposition of cricket's idiosyncratic culture and its lasting appeal.
