Originally a way for bored shepherds to pass the time, via a first international in New York in 1844, to an estimated 60 million players worldwide today - it’s no surprise that cricket is the second most popular sport in the world. Full of jokes, cartoons, fun facts and spotlights on famous cricketers, perfect for cricket fans and newcomers alike, Cracking Cricket is the third book in the Stupendous Sports series, which aims to do for PE what Horrible Histories did for Year 7 History lessons.
Robin Bennett is an author and entrepreneur who has written several books for children, sometimes under the nom de plume R.S Harding, and a few more on the swashbuckling world of business: How to Make a Good Living Running Your Own Business, Kicking the Property Ladder and Start up Smart, all published by Harriman House.
