{"product_id":"books-next-man-in-by-gerald-brodribb","title":"Next Man In","description":"Next Man In is unique in cricket literature, and in this revised and expanded edition it remains absolutely essential reading for any true lover of the game, a treasure trove of the odd and bizarre happenings on the field that have led to changes in the Laws. A survey of the Laws of cricket written with quiet humour, there are tales of absent-minded umpires who failed to keep count of the balls in an over, of batsmen who set off for a run in the wrong direction, of butterflies slain by off-breaks in flight, of the side that was declared all out for 46 because three members arrived too late. A classic for more than forty years, Next Man In now covers one-day cricket as well as the first class game and includes twelve pages of photographs marking the notable occurrences that have enlivened cricket in recent years. A mine of information, as lively and fascinating as ever, it is a must for all who share the author's delight in the infinite variety of cricket and its players.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672667185425,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780285634831.jpg?v=1781520743","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-next-man-in-by-gerald-brodribb","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
