Reviews for A History of Cricket

There is something here for every young cricket fan, and perhaps for the parent who wants to share the passion. * Aussie Reviews * Catherine Chambers has a wonderful way of blending the history of football with world history, giving readers a fully rounded context in which to view the game of soccer. Did you know that many early matches were more like mob brawls and that some leaders tried to ban them? A vast variety of information and a lively layout means this book presents readers with a treasure trove of spice and fun, including all that lies behind the game, its history and its fans. * Buzzwords Magazine *
