Cricket
Explained
by Robert Eastaway, Mark Stevens
Book Description: Cricket Explained offers the sports enthusiast a
user-friendly introduction to baseball's British cousin, a game that shares
with America's national pastime the common ancestor "rounders".
This is the definitive beginner's guide to the game of cricket, written
by a world authority on the sport, the co-inventor of the Coopers &
Lybrand World Cricket Ratings System. Cricket Explained takes the reader
from the game's fundamentals -- basic rules, terminology, equipment --
to the finer points of strategy, individual playing styles, and cricket
lore.
The book includes a combined glossary/index for easy reference and is
illustrated throughout with the lighthearted drawings of British cartoonist
Mark Stevens. So even if you don't know "short leg" from "silly mid off"
or a bowler from a batsman, you'll come away from Cricket Explained with
an understanding for this truly international sport which, like baseball,
is loved both for its elegant simplicity and its vexing complexity.

History
of Indian Cricket
by Mihir Bose
Synopsis: On 24 August 1971 - "The Day the Elephant came to the Oval"
- India, under the captaincy of A.L. Wadekar, won her first Test match
against England in England. From this dramatic starting-point Mihir Bose
focuses on the rollercoaster nature of India's cricket history, from its
early days in the time of the British Raj to the present day period that
has been characterised by both the sublime (the batting mastery of Sachin
Tendulkar) and the ridiculous (the match-fixing scandals associated with
the nefarious activities of certain Indian bookmakers). Mihir Bose's lively,
informed and always entertaining text is supported by a full statistical
appendix, including the scorecards of all India's most famous Test matches
and a table of averages of all India's Test players.

Opening
Up: My Autobiography
by Mike Atherton
Synopsis Mike Atherton is considered by many to be the most articulate
and perceptive captain of English cricket since Mike Brearley. He was also
one of the most determined batsmen of the 1990s, and as an opener, a vital
component of the England team. Atherton has played professional cricket
for Lancashire and England for 15 years, despite a serious back complaint.
He represented England in 115 Test matches and captained his country on
a record 54 occasions. His recovery from a difficult situation in 1995
(when he was accused of ball tampering during the first Test match against
South Africa at Lord's) proved a tough hurdle, yet one that would strengthen
his resolve. His autobiography contains many serious observations about
world cricket, as well as humorous asides and perceptive insights into
the game.
