The Wisden Dictionary of Cricket is the definitive guide to the noble game.

It will appeal to anyone with an interest in the game - from the seasoned aficionado to the youngest new recruit.

Cricket's Changing Ethos by Jon Gemmell Pdf

This book examines historically how cricket was codified out of its variant folk-forms and then marketed with certain lessons sought to reinforce the values of a declining landed interest. It goes on to show how such values were then adapted as part of the imperial experiment and were eventually rejected and replaced with an ethos that better reflected the interests of new dominant elites. The work examines the impact of globalisation and marketization on cricket and analyses the shift from an English dominance, on a sport that is ever-increasingly being shaped by Asian forces. The book’s distinctiveness lies in trying to decode the spirit of the game, outlining a set of actual characteristics rather than a vague sense of values. An historical analysis shows how imperialism, nationalism, commercialism and globalisation have shaped and adapted these characteristics. As such it will be of interest to students and scholars of sport sociology, post-colonialism, globalisation as well as those with an interest in the game of cricket and sport more generally.

Carr's Dictionary of Extraordinary Cricketers by James Lloyd Carr Pdf

A handsome new edition of a miniature classic with a cult following One of the most delightful and idiosyncratic books on cricket Re-published to follow Aurum's sales and critical success with Byron Rogers' biography of J.L. Carr, The Last Englishman (1 85410 984 7) Published in association with The Quince Tree Press, the publishing imprint Carr founded and ran A perfect gift book Decorated throughout with Carr's own drawings and engravings Carr's Dictionary of Extraordinary Cricketers is one of the most original - and smallest - books ever published about cricket. But it also does exactly what its title says. From John Jackson, a retiring bowler who always blew his nose in embarassment whenever he clean-bowled a batsman, to Horace, the Trent Bridge groundsman's horse who, whenever he saw the Nottinghamshire number 11 walking out to bat, would start to amble over towards the heavy roller, here are all the game of cricket's most eccentric and quixotic practitioners. that very quickly became a bestseller - with WH Smith alone selling many thousands - and made his reputation as a remarkable and unique small publisher. Unavailable in most bookshops for over ten years, it is now reissued on Aurum's cricket list in an expanded and beautifully designed miniature hardback, illustrated with Carr's own cricket drawings and engravings.
