Beschreibung

Cricket in Poetry tells the fascinating story of cricket's strong ties with poetry while exploring the game's history. Cricket has inspired more poetry than any other sport. Some of it is moving, some is funny and some is arch and clunky. The book delves into cricket's early days, recalling its famous matches and old-time heroes.

Autor

Bob Doran first played cricket on the green at Walton-le-Dale across the River Ribble from Preston in Lancashire. He studied classics at King's College, London, and joined the BBC as a trainee journalist working mostly in radio. He writes on cricket, classics and travel. He bowls off spin and fields in the gully. His batting position has slipped over the years from one to 11.
