Cricket Chicks Favourite Cricket Books (Well, what else would they be) : -
1) More Than A Game: The Story of Crickets Early Years by John Major - Beautifully thought out and beautifully written.
2) Start the Car: The World According to Bumble by David Lloyd - Hilarious.
3) Ashes Victory: The official story of the greatest ever Test series in the team’s own words by The Professional Cricketers Association - Always good to relive the 2005 Ashes Series and great to get an insight from the players themselves.
4) Following On: A year with English Cricket’s golden boys by David Tossell - Interesting to see how some succeed where others fail. It’s a cruel sport sometimes.
5) Cricket and National Identity in the Postcolonial Age edited by Stephen Wagg - A bit of History for you. Actually, very interesting and thought provoking.
6) Behind the Shades by Duncan Fletcher - See if it changes or reinforces your opinion on a man with an ambiguous reputation.
7) Time to Declare by Michael Vaughan - England’s most successful Test captain to date, so must be worth a read.
8) The Ultimate Test: The Story of the 2009 Ashes Series by Gideon Haigh - Always good to remember England’s victories.
9) Netherland by Joseph O’Neil - Not technically a cricket book, but a great novel which uses a cricket team in America as its foundation.
10) Hopefully a book about England’s historic victory down under in the 2010/2011 series! Fingers crossed anyway.
