An anthology ofoutstanding cricket writing\n\nCoMPILED BY  \nBRIAN LEVISON  \nWITH A FOREWORD BY CHRISTOPHER MARTIN-JENKINS  \n个HIS SELECTION OF the very best,and mostI intriguing,writing on cricket,drawn from themid-eighteenth century to the present day,adoptsa fresh approach.It is arranged around the themeof the many things that must happen simply for aday's play to happen-from creating a clearing ina Malaysian jungle to getting to the ground-soincludes,alongside writing by players both great andunknown,the perspectives of spectators,umpires,scorers and other unsung heroes of the game.  \nThere are contributions from John Arlott,NevilleCardus,C.L.R.James and E.V.Lucas;MarcusTrescothick writes on his introduction to cricketaged three;Angus Fraser on meeting NelsonMandela;Phil Tufnell on being shanghaied intogetting a haircut by Mike Gatting;and RachaelHeyhoe Flint on being the first woman to steponto the Lord's ground as a player.  \nBut it is the cricket itself and the outstandingplayers and their achievements that remain thefocus-the greats of the recent and distant pastinvolved in some of their most famous exploits.  \nFrom 'disgraceful scenes at Lord's',described byIrish writer Robert Lynd,to North America,whichW.G.Grace toured in 1872,and from a matchplayed on ice to the tropical islands of Fiji andSamoa,this is a collection which does full justiceto the extraordinary breadth,diversity and enduringfascination of the greatest game in the world.  \nL20  \nhttps://archive.org/details/isbn_9781780331232  \n# ALLINADAY’SCRICKET\n\n#
