The Summer Game

All kinds of cricketers, and all branches of the game, are described in this book – from happy-go-lucky contests in school and village to those dour wars of attrition, Test Matches. It includes character sketches of Roy Kilner, Ranji, Fry, Trumper, Hammond, Hobbs, Parkin, Macartney and Macdonald, together with general essays and descriptions of complete matches, including a famous encounter between those inveterate rivals Lancashire and Yorkshire.
