Description

This vintage book is a detailed treatise on the game of cricket, with historical information and complete instructions for bowling, batting, and fielding. "Cricket" constitutes a timeless resource for anyone with an interest in learning cricket. It is highly commended for the novice and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage sporting literature. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of cricket. First published in 1891.
