Welcome to The Wicked Wit of Cricket, a compendium packed with the game's greatest stories from both on and off the field. 'The English,' as George Bernard Shaw once remarked, 'are not very spiritual people, so they invented cricket to give them some idea of eternity.' Some might call it eternity. Others might instead regard it as heaven. The world of cricket is nevertheless one that is filled with larger than life characters - be they the great players, the unforgettable commentators, the legendary umpires or the most enthusiastic and barmiest fans. The contest between leather and willow is, after all, only challenged by soccer as the world's most popular sport. The Wicket Wit of Cricket is a sumptuous feast of cricket's greatest tales, legends and anecdotes all spread out across the clubhouse table in bite-sized pieces. Bringing together the sport's most famous quips, insults, pranks, mishaps, incredible facts, outrageous incidents, plus all those great moments of commentary where the words did not come out quite as intended. This is a book packed not just with wicked wit but with wicket wit as well!
