Why read it?
1 author picked My Favourite Cricket Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a total gem of a book. It is a collection of all the best classic short stories about cricket that there are.

Very rarely do you have anything so good in one volume.
From Stuart's list on cricket that will bowl you over.
