Produktbeschreibung

Do you know a grubber from a yorker? Can you identify the golden rules of slip and outfield catching? How does a batter recover from the dreaded royal duck? And where on earth do players find room for all those teas?

In this official Test Match Special book, cricket legend and TMS commentator Ebony Rainford-Brent takes you on a whirlwind tour of the world's greatest sport. This entertaining and witty A-Z guide covers everything from amazing stats and analysis of great (and not-so-great) cricketing skills to the game's uniquely joyous culture, its stand-out players, greatest venues, dodgiest pitches and the wonderful eccentricities that define village cricket. Along the way, there are plenty of anecdotes from Ebony's extraordinary career, along with her top tactical and leadership tips. Whether you're new to cricket or a seasoned pro, How to Read Cricket has it all, and a story to tell.
