Michael Parkinson On Cricket demonstrates that the author is more than just the chuckling, knee-stroking king of the TV chat-show jungle. Parkinson is also a practiced and perceptive sports writer with a particular passion for cricket, which he explores in this selection of typically intelligent, spirited and humane journalism.
Tutored in the love, legends and laws of the game by an equally impassioned cricket fan, his father, Parkinson dabbled in playing, before settling into a lifelong habit of watching in awe and wonder at the great deeds of greater men--but those first steps towards the crease, when his dreams of glory as a Yorkshire schoolboy had not yet been dampened by a lack of ability, offer some of the funniest and most poignant moments in this collection.
