Description
What I Love About Cricket is the story of a summer when a ‘master’ cricket obsessive teaches his novice ‘pupil’ the wisdom of the game. Sandy Balfour is cast as the supposed master and his sixteen-year-old daughter’s new boyfriend – the skateboarding boy wonder – is the reluctant pupil.This beginner’s guide to the infuriatingly perverse game of cricket is a love letter addressed both tothose who utterly fail to understand it and to those who need reminding why they fell in love inthe first place. What unfolds is wonderfully observed, very funny and as much about fathersand daughters, love and life, as it is about cricket.
