Arm-ball to Zooter : A Sideways Look at the Language of Cricket Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

What's the difference between short leg and deep midwicket?

When would you be thinking about bowling a yorker? What's so great about the sound of leather on willow?

Cricket's vocabulary is a mixture of jargon and cliche, poetry and prose, misty-eyed romanticism and old-gits' cynicism.

Arm-ball to Zooter is a witty guide to the peculiarities of the game, its history and major figures; cricket-lovers might find their own pet hates confirmed; cricket newcomers might be amazed at what cricket-lovers have been up to all these years.
