Download or read book Free Hit written by Suprita Das and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -- The 2017 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup saw the Indian team make it to the finals, and although it lost the game, the tournament marked an unprecedented high for viewership for women's cricket in India. The ensuing euphoria that followed, including the announcement of two film-deals with the team's leading stars, ensured that the only direction where Indian women's cricket could go from there was up.Free Hit is the untold story of how women's cricket in India got here, and casts light on the gender-based pay gaps, sponsorship challenges, and the sheer indifference of cricketing officials it faced along the way. Focusing on Mithali Raj, the world's greatest female batsman, and Jhulan Goswami, the leading wicket taker in women's cricket, author Suprita Das takes us into the lives of the spirited bunch of women who, across the years, just like their male counterparts, also brought home laurels that are worth celebrating.

Book excerpt: Despite what happened at Lord's in 2019, New Zealand has won a Cricket World Cup. It was at Lincoln in December 2000 that New Zealand beat Australia to win the Women's World Cup. The first recorded cricket match in New Zealand between teams of women had been played in the Wairarapa as long ago as 1867 and the New Zealand women played their first Test match in 1935. In 2014 Debbie Hockley became the second New Zealander after Sir Richard Hadlee to be inducted into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame.This is the story of women's cricket in New Zealand, from its earliest humble origins to its glory days on the international stage. It is also the story of the women who have come to be recognised amongst the very best in the world at their sport. It is the story of a game played for the sheer love of it, and of the hard work of the dedicated souls who built and sustained women's cricket, often in the face of challenge and adversity. Most of all it is the story of every woman who relished the warm sun on her face as she enjoyed the

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For too long, women have been kept beyond the boundary. Now, they are storming the field. This is their story. Cricket is a sport noted for the richness of its literature, yet despite all that has been written on the great game there remains a yawning gap - where are all the women? This omission may have been understandable in the early and middle part of the last century, when women's cricket existed in a twilight world, regarded as a sport for ladies who could perhaps be most tactfully described as 'unconventional'. But times have changed, and Izzy Duncan's groundbreaking book comes on the scene not a moment too soon. We begin in the late eighteenth century, when ladies made their first mark on cricket amid frantic betting and rowdy crowds. Then on to the highs and lows of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, culminating in the contemporary superstars dominating world cricket and on the cusp of going professional. Tracing the history of the ladies' game, delving into its sometimes murky past and revealing its recent explosion in popularity, Skirting the Boundary is a humorous, affectionate and charming portrayal of one of the fastest-growing global sports.

Download or read book A Novel Match at Cricket written by Paul Salway and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of women’s cricket with a difference. It is the first book to trace in detail the development of the game at grass-roots level. Based on the author’s own knowledge built up over 30 years of involvement in women’s cricket, backed up by extensive in-depth research, it connects the development of the game locally with important national trends and examines the links between women’s cricket and wider social trends such as the position of women in society. A Novel Match at Cricket also attempts to answer some important questions, such as the reasons for the booms and slumps which have occurred in women’s cricket and the role that men have played helping and hindering the development of the female game. This book also looks at the lessons history has to teach those who are running women’s cricket today. It will appeal not only to those interested in cricket, but also to students of social history, particularly people engaged in women’s studies.

Book excerpt: The story of women's cricket in Tasmania is one of perseverance and passion. And it's a history of firsts, including Lily Poulett-Harris who founded organised women's cricket in Australia, and the Tasmanian team that played in the first interstate women's cricket match.Underpinning the journey are the trailblazing pioneers who stepped into the male domain of cricket. In its beginnings, cricket helped women define themselves in a new way, to cross divides and showcase what they could do, rather than what was expected. On the national stage, Tasmania has thrived on its underdog tag, a source of motivation for many extraordinary performances. Whether playing national competition or local competition, Tasmanian female cricketers have shaped the modern game and paved the way for the professional pathways that exist today.On the Front Foot tells the fascinating and spirited story of the rise of Tasmanian women's cricket. A story that acknowledges past hardships and celebrates those who believed in change ? and made it happen. Jacqui Triffitt brings to her writing a unique perspective. As a Tasmanian state cricketer, coach and administrator, she is part of this story, and as a Consultant Sport and Exercise Psychologist, she understands what it takes to persist and to achieve against the odds.
