The links between cricket and the literary world are many and varied, but here’s one I wouldn’t have guessed:
What books might we be surprised to find on your shelves?
Stacks of books on cricket. I am fascinated by its history. It’s a story told in match statistics, but it’s also bred some stylish prose. My head is full of the ghosts of men in white playing games that were over before the Great War.
That shows a true depth of understanding about why it matters.
