Why read it?

1 author picked The Lighter Side of Cricket as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book for its twists and jokes.

It’s full of little stories and you think at the beginning of each one that that it’s going to describe an interesting situation from a serious point of view. So you wait for the ending. But it suddenly turns at the last and gives you a totally unexpected comical twist.

I have heard a lot of cricket stories but I hadn’t heard the one about WG Grace before. This book is a diamond mine.

From Stuart's list on cricket that will bowl you over.
