- Copyright: © Benny Green 1988"It's more than a game. It's an institution."
Many books have been written about the great game of cricket, but there has never been one like this before. Benny Green possesses not only an encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect of the game, and an infectious delight in its highways and byways, but the wit and literary style to give us an original and immensely entertaining account of its story.
Digging beneath the surface of the statistics and records, Benny Green brings to life the personalities who have given the game its life through the centuries. The story spreads around the world as the game itself was spread. It took root in Australia almost with the first settlers. Later we are introduced to the virtuoso players of the West Indies, South Africa and India. The book ends with the more familiar dramas of the modern game, and some searching questions about its future. Armed with the insights afforded by Benny Green's rich history, we may feel better able to answer them with optimism.- Language: English
