"I'm in the team – can you come and watch me play?"

If you will be sitting by a cricket pitch this summer, mystified by the antics on the field in front of you, this is the book for you. Not only will it help to explain what is going on from the spectator's viewpoint – it will also raise you several notches in your loved one's esteem.
After reading this book you will be able to talk knowledgeably about spin and swing bowling, off drives, knocking in, and know the difference between a googly and an off-break. You might even enjoy the matches much more as a result. Just as well because they can take up a whole day at junior level, or up to five days for a Test match.
The author, a mother who has spent many seasons at her sons' playing fields, provides a complete guide to the intricacies of cricket for all those supporters to whom predominantly male sports are a complete mystery. She also includes valuable advice on supporter etiquette and preparing cricket teas as well as dealing with the inevitable washing mountain.
This book is for all bemused supporters, male and female, who loyally turn out to cheer in all weathers.

Über Autor(innen)

Ann Waterhouse started work in 1969 in the UK editorial office of an international oil magazine. A career in the media followed but the arrival of two sons gave Ann the opportunity to pursue her writing activities, initially as a hobby. Since 1994, she has been writing entertaining and informative guides to sports, aimed at parents, grandparents and friends who didn't play the sports themselves.
