About This Book

A comic chronicle of an amateur village cricket club as it prepares for and contests a much-anticipated match, blending on-field play with clubhouse banter and social ritual. Eccentric personalities, tactical skirmishes, and unpredictable incidents illuminate the sport's quirks while interludes of meals, courtship, and instruction reveal personal foibles. The narrative moves from pre-match anticipation through record attempts and a county appearance to the aftermath of an improbable event, combining match description with reflections on luck, temperament, and the small-scale dramas that enliven club life.
