Описание: When Mark Boucher played his first game of cricket for South Africa, a senior player took him aside and bluntly told him he was the worst wicket-keeper ever to play in the national side. Over a decade later, when Bouch finally retired with a plethora of records under his belt and to huge acclaim from the public, he took grim satisfaction in relating this piece of history. This is the story of a man with remarkable sporting prowess. Born into a sports-mad family in East London, he excelled in squash, tennis and rugby before choosing cricket as his preferred sport. His extraordinary achievements on the field are well-known -- he was voted SA player of the year in 1998, 2000 and 2006. What is not so well known, and makes up much of this book, are the behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes. Stories of staring down the barrel of defeat and of celebrating victory; of developing strong bonds with team-mates Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and others that go way beyond mere friendship. What emerges is the image of a man who always fought for the underdog, whose never-say-die attitude inspires those around him. Bouchs career was brought to a dramatic end on a cricket pitch in England when the bail of a stump punctured his left eye. But, in his own words, "I lost sight but gained vision". True to his character of gritty determination, Bouch has rededicated his life to a new cause, that of the environment and particularly the critically endangered rhino.
A great depression, worsening Anglo-Australian relations, the declining British Empire and the challenge from an Australia striving to find a national identity are the context which explain bodyline and its repercussions. Bodyline was a watershed in the history of cricket and politics were publicly seen as part of sport. This book offers a radical reappraisal of bodyline which challenges the official interpretations of the events, and places them in a unique social and political context.

Описание:
Widely regarded as one of the most important and influential sports books of all time, C. L. R. James's Beyond a Boundary is—among other things—a pioneering study of popular culture, an analysis of resistance to empire and racism, and a personal reflection on the history of colonialism and its effects in the Caribbean. More than fifty years after the publication of James's classic text, the contributors to Marxism, Colonialism, and Cricket investigate Beyond a Boundary's production and reception and its implication for debates about sports, gender, aesthetics, race, popular culture, politics, imperialism, and English and Caribbean identity. Including a previously unseen first draft of Beyond a Boundary's conclusion alongside contributions from James's key collaborator Selma James and from Michael Brearley, former captain of the English Test cricket team, Marxism, Colonialism, and Cricket provides a thorough and nuanced examination of James's groundbreaking work and its lasting impact.

Описание: This collection of Gideon Haighs previously published articles distils from his daily reporting the essence of the 2017-18 cricket season, from victories and celebrations to the controversy that captured the worlds attention. The Australian mens cricket team arrived in Bangladesh in mid-August 2017 and departed South Africa in mid-April 2018, having deployed thirty-seven players in eleven Tests, ten one-day internationals and seven T20 internationals. They came from behind to draw a series in Asia; they regained the Ashes, rising from fi fth to third in the worlds Test championship; they slipped to fourth on the ODI table and rose to second in the T20I rankings. But the souring of the achievements began around 3pm on 24 March 2018 at Newlands, when umpires summoned Cameron Bancroft to discuss attempts to alter the condition of the 42-over-old ball to which they had been alerted.Ten weeks earlier, Bancroft had posed on a stage at the Sydney Cricket Ground celebrating victory over England; within two weeks, he and three of his fellow revellers, captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and coach Darren Lehmann, had become casualties of perhaps the angriest and suddenest sports controversies of the century.

Why should a holidaymaker, sitting to enjoy a game of village cricket, suddenly meet with death in the shape of a flying bullet?
That most English of sporting pastimes: a cricket match between two rivalrous village teams. The game has just ended in a closely fought draw, and the village green is emptied of all spectators, bar one. A dead man is found sitting in a deck chair on the boundary line, clearly shot during the match. The man is a stranger, with no obvious clue to his identity or that of his killer. Nobody has seen or heard the shot fired. The local police are baffled, and call in Scotland Yard. Enter Dr. Manson, investigative detective par excellence, to solve a seemingly impossible crime.
Murder Isn't Cricket was originally published in 1946. This new edition includes an introduction by crime fiction historian Nigel Moss.

The England cricket team is playing Australia in the Second Ashes Test Match at Lord's, the World's most famous cricket ground. At one end of the ground stands the pavilion. For over a hundred years, it has played host to some of the greatest names in the game. However, within its walls and beneath its floors live a collection of less celebrated cricketers and their families. Compo, Don, Gubby, CMJ, Mrs. Heyhoe, and others are members of the pavilion's mouse colony. They live happily side by side with the visiting spectators, scavenging what they need. All this changes one night, when a combination of events threaten their way of life and their home.
