But the good news is that you don’t have to read this book from cover to cover. You can easily just dip into those chapters that catch your interest. Perhaps you’ll be watching a game of cricket on television or listening to radio coverage and you’d like to know more about a particular aspect of the game and its history, so just turn to the chapter which does the job.
If you’re keen to get playing cricket there is lots in this book for you, with chapters dedicated to developing batting, bowling, and fielding techniques as well as explaining the tactical nuances of cricket captaincy. In addition, there is a chapter on training, which is essential reading for anyone looking to develop their playing technique and all-round physical conditioning.
If playing the game isn’t for you, and you’d rather be a fan, this book has an enormous amount to offer. The domestic and international cricket scene is laid out for you, and there I explain how to get to watch big-match cricket. Don’t be restricted by the order in which the contents of this book appear. You may find that in a discussion of a particular aspect of cricket in one chapter, I refer to another aspect of the game. Whenever this happens I tell you which chapter to turn to for more information about that other aspect.
