The Ascent of Mount Hum by Steven Haslemere
This book tells the story of how a group of distinctly average cricketers became unlikely sporting ambassadors and, quite by accident, helped re-introduce an island to its forgotten past.
'Lingers on its subject with a dedicated fascinationThe team's exploits should raise a smile of recognition from anyone who has ever been on a cricket tour but the book's real interest lies in the historical detail of an island which served as Tito's secret HQ during the war and remained off-limits for 40 years afterwards.' --Wisden Cricketer 'Can I recommend a rather unusual cricket book? The Ascent of Mount Hum.' --Lawrence Booth, Guardian website's coverage of England Test Match cricket
Steven Haslemere has been playing cricket badly for longer than he cares to remember. He is secretary of the St. Radegund pub s cricket team, and a co-founder and editor of its annual magazine Witless Cricketers' Almanac. He is married and lives in Cambridge.
