Between Wickets

by Ray Robinson, Lindsay Hassett ((Foreword))

'To the cricketer, the choice of a phrase here and the use of a shade of meaning there reveal how much a writer knows about his business as a judge of the game. In this case, the author established himself in the front rank of his profession' - from the Foreword by Lindsay Hassett.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cricket classic, justifiably.

A cricket writer and friend once said to me that reading about cricket can be more interesting than watching it - and this book drove that home to me. I now have a much better understanding of the players of the 1920's to 1940's and what being a cricket fan in that era may have been like.

Favourite phrase: swishful thinking.

[John Frankham · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well-written exposition of, mainly English and Australian, test cricketers between the wars, written in 1946, by one of the foremost cricket observers and writers for that period. Brings many cricketers of the period alive.
