Says exactly what it does on the cover
Review date: 2009-07-15 Rating: 10 out of 10
This book is a brilliant, whimsical look at Cricket the game, its players, the countries that play, the Media and the fans.
Lawrence Booth is an excellent writer with a brilliant sense of wry humour and I laughed all the way through the book.
Get this and get Armball to Zooter and get onto the Guardian site for the OBO coverage.
Hugely enjoyable and entertaining....

This is a corker of a book, which would appeal to both the hardened anorak wearer and those who couldn't care less about Bradman's career average. It's witty, informative, irreverent, inclusive, and takes self-deprecation to the nth degree (a quality sadly lacking in many cricket writers). I read the whole thing with a smile on my face and defy anyone not to chortle whilst reading the extracts from Graham Gooch's Indian blogs.
If you are lucky enough to find Lawrence in your stocking this Christmas, you won't be disappointed.
Great fun

I'd read Lawrence's other book, or at least it was a 'toilet book', and so I was drawn to this more conventional work, being a sportsfan and a follower of Lawrence's work online.
Its just as good (better, even) as the easy wit of The Spin, his weekly cricket column, and is full of name-dropping, jokes, etc. All funny and accessible.
I love my sports books, and for once I don't feel like I'm being spoken down to. Mr Booth is happy for us to join us in his world. He welcomes us in.
Write something else and I'll pop in again!
