Cricket

Unlike other sports, cricket - and especially the club cricket of England and the British Isles - allows recreational players to rub shoulders with international stars and even superstars in a fully competitive context, providing them with some of the most cherished memories of their lives. As in the first book, Scott Oliver has assembled two stellar XIs including legendary figures such as Muttiah Muralitharan, Dennis Lillee, Lance Gibbs, Abdul Qadir, Allan Border, Learie Constantine, Javed Miandad and many more, cult heroes such as Jesse Ryder, and even the club cricket story of one of England's earliest greats, SF Barnes. These magical stories are unique to cricket. And yet no one has collected them in one place. Until now. The first volume of Sticky Dogs and Stardust was named the Wisden Book of the Year in 2024, also earning Oliver the title of JM Kilburn Cricket Writer of the Year and nominations for the Cricket Society and MCC Book of the Year 2024, and the Sports Book Awards 2024.

Scott Oliver turned to freelance features writing in 2012 after completing an arduous PhD on Peronist Argentina - mainly about sport, although he has written on culture and politics for the Guardian, the New European, New Statesman, VICE and others. A regular contributor of football longforms to The Blizzard, Mundial and The Ringer, cricket is nevertheless his first love. He has written hundreds of pieces on a multitude of topics for ESPNcricinfo, Cricbuzz, the Cricketer and Wisden Cricket Monthly, for whom he has been club cricket correspondent since its 2017 re-launch, compiling the much-loved ""Club Cricket Hall of Fame"" series. This is his second book, a follow-up to last year's Sticky Dogs and Stardust.
