Download or read book Cricket Nurseries of Colonial Barbados written by Keith A. P. Sandiford and published by Kingston, Jamaica : Press University of the West Indies. This book was released on 1998 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers an intriguing and important analysis of the role played by three prestigious grammar schools - Combermere School, Harrison College and the Loge School- in establishing the cricket cult in Barbados and ultimately throughout the Caribbean. It goes far towards explaining why Barbadians have traditionally played such excellent cricket. This book is the first to make such extensive use of Barbadian school magazines as primary sources for the study of social history. The author stresses the statistical first class records of about 200 alumni of the three schools and in so doing furnishes sport sociologists with a considerable new body of empirical data for future use. Although it focuses on a Barbadian situation, the book should interest cricket enthusiasts everywhere with its many photographs and its lucid and candid treatment of some of the most important personalities in regional and world cricket, a few of whom are still actively involved in the sport today.

Download or read book Cricket Without a Cause written by Hilary McD Beckles and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The record of Windies international cricket performance is extraordinary. No other nation has dominated all three formats of international cricket - Test, ODIs and T20. Test teams in the last quarter of the 20th century seemed invincible. All competitors were humbled, humiliated and put to the sword. Then it all fell apart. At the turn of the 21st century, Windies were knocked from the pinnacle of Test and thrown to the basement. The collapse from 'awesome to awful' is considered a mystery in the annals of modern sport and popular performance culture. Public and academic discourses rage in the West Indies and everywhere the game is played and followed. There is rage as experts seek reasons for the ruin. In this monograph, Professor Hilary Beckles, cricketer, university academic and former West Indies Cricket Board director turns another page. He measures the temperature of inflamed Caribbean emotions and assesses the turbulence caused by new global policy promotions. The passages of pundits are assembled along with the research of experts to produce an interpretation that speaks as much to the mentality of administrators as it does to the economic priorities and politics of players. Outcomes on field of play are interfaced with incomes beyond the boundary. The result is a book that captures the crisis of West Indian post-Independence society and economy that has ruptured and sold the soul of the Windies game. Beckles shows that only the Windies have been unable to field a Test team filled with its best players. The best available occupy the bottom of Test rankings. The best are lured by the bounty of franchise cricket as 'cash before country' became the new mantra. Test cricket, once the gold of the Windies brand, was devalued and diminished. The proud edifice to West Indian nationalism fell. But the rebuilding task has begun, Beckles argues. A new mentality in the academy is in the making. The return of the Windies is on the horizon.

Download or read book Miracle Men written by Nikhil Naz and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year was 1983 and Team India was in its first-ever World Cup final. They were the minnows of the cricketing world – so much so that the bookmakers were offering 66:1 against India winning the title. Yet, despite the odds stacked against them, Kapil Dev’s inspirational captaincy took a bunch of no-hopers to World Cup glory. As Dev held the trophy in his hands on 25 June that year, India ushered in an era during which cricket would go on to dominate all sporting activity in the country and the men who played the winning innings would be venerated as demigods. Based on first-hand accounts of the days leading up to that historic win, Miracle Men brings alive some of the most glorious moments in Indian cricket. From dressing-room disagreements to selectorial intrigues to on-field strategies, this riveting account is as entertaining and full of unexpected turns as the best game of cricket.
Download or read book The Art of Centuries written by Steve James and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century has always had a special resonance, in all walks of life, and none more so than in cricket. Scoring one hundred runs is the ultimate for a batsman. As former England captain Andrew Strauss admits, it's incredibly hard to do; for Ricky Ponting, it's a transformational moment in the career of a cricketer. Or in the words of Geoffrey Boycott, 'a century has its own magic'. In The Art of Centuries, Steve James applies his award-winning forensic insight to the very heart of batting. Through interviews with the leading run-scorers in cricket history and his own experiences, Steve discovers what mental and physical efforts are required to reach those magical three figures. Despite his own haul of 47 first-class tons, he himself felt at times that he was poorly equipped for the task. So working out how to score centuries is an art. And bowlers might not agree, but there really is no better feeling in cricket.
