From Word of Sport:

This gloriously titled book was gloriously well received when released in 2007. The brand of self depreciating humour to describe his life long obsession with cricket found favour with most, if not all, who read it. In many ways it was one of the surprise titles of 2007 and this new format paperback will hopefully manage to convert a few more fans along the way.

From the Publisher:

A fat boy with a passion for sweets and a loathing for games, the young Michael Simkins finds in cricket a sport where size doesn't necessarily matter and a full-blown obsession is born. Now in middle-age, he still harbours the somewhat deluded belief that the England middle-order might usefully benefit from his hard-earned skills. From impromptu Test series played with his dad in the family sweetshop through to his years running a team of dysfunctional inadequates, "Fatty Batter" tells the hilarious story of one man's life lived through cricket.
