Cricket's Strangest Matches cover

Cricket’s Strangest Tales is a fascinating collection of cricketing weirdness – and there’s a lot of it to choose from!

Within these pages you’ll find a game that was played on ice, meet a plague of flying ants who failed to dampen players’ enthusiasm, and examples of the grand old tradition of one-armed teams versus one-legged teams. The stories in this book are bizarre, fascinating, hilarious, and, most importantly, true.

This brand new edition, redesigned in splendid hardback for 2018, is the perfect gift for the cricket fanatic in your life.
