Download or read book Close of Play written by Walcott William Walcott and published by Black Rose Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this allegorical excursion, William Walcott explores the intersections between United States politics and the game of cricket in a book reminiscent of C. L. R. James's classic Beyond a Boundary. In Close of Play, Walcott highlights the careers of former US president Barack Obama and the Trinidadian cricket and cultural phenom Brian Lara-one of the greatest batsmen of all time, who Obama once called "e;the Michael Jordan of cricket."e; Readers are invited to explore the parallel poetics of politics and sport through the life and words of these luminaries, both of whom promised to deliver far-reaching social change yet found themselves "e;on the back foot."e; In his analysis, Walcott delves into matters of Caribbean and American identity, political leadership, oratory, and the blending of cricket vocabulary into political commentary. He also challenges us to understand the sociological links between international sport, socio-economic inequality, and racial politics. This book is a fascinating journey into the world of global sociopolitical life and the curiosities of language embedded in cricket and political play, both of which constitute enormous sectors within a multibillion dollar "e;sticky wicket"e; of transnational capitalism.

From boyhood heroes, to legendary team-mates, to fearsome opponents, to idiosyncratic umpires and broadcasters, Tuffers has gathered together the most enchanting cast of cricketing figures every assembled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them by virtue of their skills with ball and bat.

From the black-and-white belligerence of Ian Chappell to the colourful celebrity of Shane Warne, the diplomacy of Adam Gilchrist to the ruthlessness of Meg Lanning, the pantheon of Australia's greatest cricketers is as mottled as the crowds that cheer them on. But who is the greatest of them all? In The 50 Greatest Australian Cricketers, sports journalist and comedy writer Dan Liebke relives the careers, characteristics and enduring legacies of the finest Australian cricket players of the past 50 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I announced my retirement from international cricket on 21 December 2006, almost exactly 15 years after first appearing for Australia against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. I was done, physically and mentally, and had the feeling that I’d run out of arse anyway. I knew there would be sadness. #2 I was first at the ground on Boxing Day morning 2006, before the rest of the team. I was nervous, and felt uneasy. I was excited to be bowling in my last Test match, and I thought about how I had enjoyed the past 17 years of first-class cricket. #3 I was extremely nervous before the toss, but I was excited too. I was told that the person who wrote the script had done a good job. I began to bowl, and I felt that both batsmen were surprised by the spin. I felt that I could get them out eventually. #4 I loved the challenge of bowling the England team, as I knew I could never get them out. I was able to block out everything else and focus on what had to be done in that moment. I was able to switch on and off, and I felt everything happened slowly and clearly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Does cricket make money in order to exist, or does it exist in order to make money?' In the last three years, cricket has changed more completely than in the preceding three decades, revolutionised by a racy new format, Twenty20, and a glamorous new competition, the Indian Premier League. How did India come to run world cricket? How did clubs owned by billionaires and Bollywood stars begin to shove international competition aside? How did money unite players and divide administrators, amid allegations of massive corruption? Gideon Haigh has followed cricket's biggest story since Kerry Packer's 'World Series' from the beginning: Sphere of Influenceis the result. This insightful collection brings the struggle to save cricket's soul into sharp and disturbing focus.
Download or read book The Best of Bevan written by Michael Bevan and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Bevan has been responsible for the some of the most remarkable and exciting performances in the history of one-day cricket. His uncanny knack to work the ball into the narrowest gaps, his quick and aggressive running, and his ability to stay calm and focused in a crisis have seen him dubbed the world's finest limited-overs batsman. In The Best of Bevan, Michael writes about the 30 matches he considers the most memorable of his career. Not all are one-day games, a few even ended in defeat, but each says something about the way he thinks the game should be played, how he approaches the art of batting and how he deals with the highs and lows of playing international cricket. For much of his career, Michael has been content to let his performances speak for him. Now, in this thought-provoking, wide-ranging book, he answers his critics, reveals what motivates him to succeed at the highest level and explains why he and his famous teammates have enjoyed so much success in recent times.

Download or read book The Toughest Tour written by Huw Turbervill and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ashes away series is without doubt the toughest test of an English cricketer’s career. From the ageing team of the first post-war tour, landing at Fremantle after three weeks at sea in a Ministry of War transport carrier, to the ‘whitewash’ of 2006-7, when England fell like rabbits caught in Shane Warne’s headlights, Australian soil has played host to some of English cricket’s most gruelling nadirs – but also some of its most glorious and infamous highs. In this unique oral history, drawn from dozens of original interviews with the surviving tourists, the Telegraph’s Huw Turbervill chronicles sixty years of England down under, recreating the greatest moments of every tour since the end of the Second World War through the words of the players who witnessed them and who made them happen. Whether reliving, with Alec Bedser, England’s dismay at Don Bradman’s shock reprieve on 28 in the first Test at Brisbane in 1946 (he went on to 187); wincing with Frank ‘Typhoon’ Tyson as he describes the moment he was bowled to the ground, unconscious, at the second Test in Sydney in 1954 – only to exact a furious and victorious revenge; or rejoicing with John Emburey and Chris Broad as England confound their critics to prove they really can bat, bowl and field, during the first Test upset of 1986, The Toughest Tour is a constantly entertaining, often heartfelt and sometimes shamelessly partisan account of six decades and sixteen tours of cricket’s most compelling rivalry.
