Synopsis

Included are the imaginative reconstruction of the 1882 England and Australia test match to Cardus's descriptions of village cricket, accounts of the great players that Cardus watched play (from Donald Bradman and Harold Larwood to Wally Hammond) to examples of his 'Shastbury' writings. Chosen and introduced by Sir Rupert Hart-Davis, Cardus on Cricket features a range of writings from 'Cricket', 'Days in the Sun', 'The Summer Game', 'Good Days', 'Australian Summer' and 'The Manchester Guardian'.

MEDIA REVIEWS

For any person, irrelevant whether he knows a thing about cricket or not, this book will remain a treasure. A must buy for any cricket fanatic and a must read for any lover of fine writing. * The Wicket Post *
I would certainly suppose that his works are read by a wider range of differing tastes than any other cricket writer before or since and by many for the scholarship as much as for the subject matter. -- Ian Peebles * Guardian *
A must for the library of anyone who appreciates either cricket, or the English language. * Financial Times *
