Sticky Wickets

Great stories of unusual happenings on and off the cricket field.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The story of cricket is littered with big stories, like Bodyline, underarm balls, and tycoons changing the game. But, like Tony Greig checking out the pitch with his keys, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

Sticky Wickets takes a look at stories both big, small, and perhaps forgotten. From bees and their dislike of cricket to a storm caused when a cameraman criticised a Test player's fielding, it's the perfect book to pick up when rain delays play.
