From Word of Sport:
Even when he was at Number 10, he gave the impression of wanting to be at The Oval and it's therefore fitting that he finally gets the opportunity to turn his attention fully to cricket. It covers the early years of cricket's development and promises to be a fascinating take on the period.
Look out for the companion volume from Blair "The Jackie Milburn Years".........
From the Publisher:
The former Prime Minister examines the early history of one of the great loves of his life in a book that sheds new light on the summer game's social origins.
Throughout John Major's life, his love of cricket has been a constant source of enjoyment, anguish - and solace. Now he delves deep into the game's history, tracing is rustic origins and social role from the days of the great patrons to the death of W. G. Grace.
