From Word of Sport:

The updated version of this popular classic. Long legs, short legs, LBWs, leg glances and long hops are disentangled, making this book 'an ideal gift for cricket lovers to bestow upon the uninitiated' (The Times).Cricket is an enchanting game - this guide will take you through the willow forest.

From the Publisher:

Have you ever been in the position of watching a game of cricket with friends who know, or pretend to know, a lot more about the game than you do? Are you a cricket widow who would perhaps like to converse more fluently (or even at all!) with a cricket-loving mate? Do you get your silly mid offs confused with your short legs? And why do cricketers rub the ball on their trousers?

This layman's guide will answer all your questions as it demystifies the jargon, explains where cricket came from, what happens on the field, what the tactics are and the do's and don'ts of being a spectator. If you've ever made a fool of yourself in the pavilion, wondered how to tell who's winning (or even how long the match is going to go on for), then Rob Eastaway's guide is just the book for you!
