The Strange Death of English Leg Spin: How Cricket's Finest Art Was Given Away

Beschreibung

How many people know that English cricketers pioneered the art of bowling leg spin, as mastered by Shane Warne? Leg breaks, googlies, flippers - all were invented here. So how did we come to give it all away? Justin Parkinson charts a history of neglect and ineptitude - yet suggests how England can once again become the global centre of leg spin.
