Arm-ball to Zooter by Lawrence Booth
What's the difference between short leg and deep midwicket? When would you be thinking about bowling a yorker? Cricket's vocabulary is a mixture of jargon and cliche, poetry and prose, misty-eyed romanticism and old-gits' cynicism. This guide talks about the peculiarities of the game, its history and major figures.
Lawrence Booth is the man behind the Guardian's enormously popular column The Spin, which pulls in a weekly readership of around 10,000 subscribers. A lifelong cricket fan, he is the author of Cricket: Celebrating the Modern Game Around the World (2005) and a contributing editor to Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack.
