Описание: An intricate and colourful story of deception beautifully rendered. As a portrait of the idiosyncrasies of English cricket, Cometh the uan is a Chinese cut above the rest. - The Guardian They said it could never happen. They said such a national treasure would never be allowed to fall into Chinas insatiable grasping clutches. And anyway, they said, what could China possibly want with the spiritual home of the game of cricket? Retribution, said some. Lords Cricket Ground owes its eighteenth century origins to fortunes made from getting the Chinese hooked on opium and now its payback time. Nonsense, said China. Were just extending a helping hand to a western cultural icon in a financial fix. Honest. Smelling a sizeable rat in Chinas assurances, the fraternity of world cricket starts digging. What it unearths is enough to shake western civilisation to its roots. With Englands hosting of the Cricket World Cup just a year away, Chinas motives for taking an interest in Lords are not only not honourable, it discovers, theyre simply not cricket.
