| Cricket One Liners Oxford, Past Times. 2003, First Edition. Hard Cover. First Impression. Dedication and inscription to previous owner. Illustrated. In the world of sport where success is measured by action rather than words, the most telling and memorable comments are frequently the briefest: 'Never read print, it spoils one's eye for the ball', the celebrated W G Grace habitually advised players in his cricket team. Archbishop William Temple may have 'looked upon cricket as organized loafing', and Lord Mancroft may have described it as 'a game which the English, not being a spiritual people, have invented in order to give themselves some conception of eternity', but in collecting some of the most telling remarks ever made about the game, Cricket One-Liners confirms its status in the sporting annals. Fine. GBP 8.00 [Appr.: EURO 9 US$ 13.29 | JP¥ 1174] Book number: 001259 Click here to order or inquire at Three Spires Books. | ||
| BOYCOTT, GEOFFREY Boycott on Crickett London, Partridge Press. 1990, First Edition. (ISBN: 1852251352) Hard Cover with dust jacket. First Impression. No Inscriptions, a little bumping at corners and spine-ends. Dustwrapper is price-clipped, a little worn and wrinkled to edge. 234pp. The author can draw on a vast reservoir of experience to assess trends and factions in the game. He writes here about technique and character; about heavy bats and short-pitch bowling, about David Gower and Ian Botham. He provides a damning picture of the shambles that is Yorkshire Cricket, and tells us what advice he gave the young England batsmen before they set off to the West Indies. And as a man who has spoken out against apartheid but has himself been on a rebel tour of South Africa, he comments on Mike Gatting's ill-fated tour and the tragi-comic events that led up to it. Very Good/Very Good. GBP 13.00 [Appr.: EURO 14.5 US$ 21.59 | JP¥ 1908] Book number: 003040 Click here to order or inquire at Three Spires Books. | ||
