Description

A cricketer’s journal, first published 1929. This Rupert Hart-Davis edition 1948, hardback. 

Women’s role in cricket has come some way from bringing the tea urn, but the first essay is beautifully evocative of village cricket in England in a much simpler time. Although written in 1929 any contemporary spin bowler could still learn from the second essay on Wilfred Rhodes; what is written about the art of spin bowling remains as relevant today – at least in long forms of the game. It also includes  McDonald v Kent 1926
