About The Author

Scyld Berry has reported on more England Test matches than any cricket writer, over 400 of them, including 20 Ashes series. He was born and grew up within a mile of Bramall Lane in Sheffield. He started as a cricket journalist in 1976, and has successively been the cricket correspondent of the Observer, the Sunday Correspondent, theIndependent on Sunday, the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Telegraph. For four years he was the editor ofWisden Cricketers' Almanack. On the field, he has taken five wickets in an innings in county cricket – for Gloucestershire Over-60s.Cricket: The Game of Life is Scyld's seventh book – six of which are about cricket. He has three children, two cats and a wife.

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

'This could be the first existential book about cricket I've ever read. It's certainly the most ambitious, and by turns the most beautiful…It's both sweeping and meticulous all at once….I can only say, truly, that my connection to the game feels deeper for having read it.' All Out Cricket
