Review
'The ideal gift book for cricket lovers to bestow upon the uninitiated.' The Times; 'This marvellous little paperback has the best explanations I have ever come across.' Time Out
Product Description
Here at last is a witty and revealing book that demystifies cricket jargon and answers all the questions you've always wanted to ask. Illustrated with pithy and instructive cartoons, it explains where cricket came from, what happens on the field, what the tactics are, and the dos and don'ts of being a spectator. If you've ever made a fool of yourself in the pavilion or wondered how to tell who's winning, then Rob Eastway, co-inventor of the Coopers & Lybrand World Cricket Ratings, has written just the book for you!

Entertaining and clear!, Sep 27 2007
By Clarice Stasz "Eclectic Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What Is a Googly? (Paperback)
With ex-pat family in Britain, I had to find out why they'd be so hot for cricket after years of baseball. This well-illustrated guide takes one carefully through the complexities of the game, along with classic British witticisms and acknowledgement of its idiosyncracies. After reading it, I called family and said, "I now know what a googly is." They didn't, so I sent the book on. I also can read sports articles on games and understand them. You too can learn about mid silly and off leg. Have fun!
Listmania!
