From the Publisher:
"Young Wisden" is the perfect introduction to one of the most enjoyable world sports - cricket. Packed with colour photographs and illustrations, this beautifully laid out book really brings the game to life. The author takes a wry look at every aspect of the game that a new fan could wish to know about, including: the basics - from how to read the scorecard to a crash course in the language; types of cricket - the sport in all its forms, from beach cricket to the five day test; batsmen, bowlers, fielders, keepers and thinkers - what it takes to be great in each position and plenty of info on the best there has been; the world of cricket - the test nations, the great grounds, and the fans on tour; and history, humour and numbers - the playing greats, the grudge matches, the records, and villains and triksters.
Written for children, there are sure to be plenty of adults taking a look over the shoulder at this wonderful introduction to cricket.
