Cricket: The Game of Life: Every Reason to Celebrate
Author(s): Scyld Berry
Scyld Berry draws on his experiences as a cricket writer of forty years to produce new insights and unfamiliar historical angles on the game, along with moving reflections on episodes from his own life. The author covers a range of themes including cricket in different areas of the world, and abstract concepts such as language, numbers, ethics and psychology; Scyld Berry relishes the joys cricket provides and is convinced of the positive effect it can have in people's lives. Cricket: The Game of Life is an inspiring book that reminds readers why they love the game and prompts them to look at it in a new way.

Elisa, Book Grocer
The extended piece on the pressures of Ashes series on captains is beautifully painted...I think every aspiring young England cricketer should read this...not as something to be afraid of, but to enlighten and prepare for the challenges that may come his way Andy Flower When I see the quality of writing by people like Scyld Berry and David Frith, I feel daunted. I can never write as well as they can. Rahul Dravid
