Description
"The "Country Life" Library of Sport presents Cricket, a compendium of essays on the topic edited by Horace G. Hutchinson. Although there are many books on the topic of the sport of cricket, this book hopes to include a wide range of materials from a vast array of individuals never seen before in print. In addition, the book also boasts a wide range of illustrations never previously compiled in a single volume.
The book begins with an interesting preface by the editor explaining the unique content and approach this text takes to cricket (in comparison with other compilations), why this text is ideal for those who are interested in the topic of cricket, and to offer his own credentials as editor. Then the book delves into the history of cricket, explaining major events and points of order to the reader. The beginning of cricket as we know it is explored along with the basic field positions. The writing continues into specific cricket techniques such as batting, bowling, and fielding. In addition to exploring technique specifics, the book also reviews both amateur players and seasoned professionals in the sport. As the sport of cricket grew in popularity it began to spread across the world and Cricket discusses this phenomenon and explores the world of cricket in England, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand.

By the end of the book, a reader unfamiliar with this topic will certainly have a very complete and complex comprehension of this timeless sport. Ultimately, this is a book full of cricket knowledge for readers interested in a more expansive and in depth exploration of the topic.
