England their England - Stairs - 10-09-2014
Has anybody read this book by A G McDonell. It's a bit if a classic but it has a beautiful chapter about playing for a City cricket xi away in a village. If you are a fan of cricket it's a must read.

I haven't, but I love a good cricket book. Seems to lend itself to writing, like baseball.

It's really all about that one chapter - best to sneak a read in the library or stand a while in Waterstones.

Last book I read was one of Boycott's. Put me off books for life.

Darren Goughs is even worse
and don't ever try to read Mel Sterlands in fact, don't ever read any sportspersons autobiography just go to the pub and ignore the old bloke in the corner who's dribbling over his beer and talking about how good he used to be

Lol. My mate worked in a book shop and had Sterland in for a signing session. Said he was a right knob.
