Has anybody read this book by A G McDonell. It's a bit if a classic but it has a beautiful chapter about playing for a City cricket xi away in a village. If you are a fan of cricket it's a must read.

I haven't, but I love a good cricket book. Seems to lend itself to writing, like baseball.

It's really all about that one chapter - best to sneak a read in the library or stand a while in Waterstones.

Last book I read was one of Boycott's. Put me off books for life.

Lol. My mate worked in a book shop and had Sterland in for a signing session. Said he was a right knob.
