The Little Book of Cricket encapsulates the often hilarious, sometimes sombre and occasionally downright bizarre quotes as the greats of the game - from Don Bradman to Steve Waugh and Ian Botham to Freddie Flintoff - all describe their beloved sport in their own words.

Cricket is blessed with quality prose and gifted writing.

The nobles and gentlemen who brought the game of cricket from England's villages to the pavilion at Lord's were often as equally blessed with the gift of wit and banter as they were with leather and willow. Their turns of phrase, intellectual insights and outlandish observations were as likely to knock you for six as to leave you stumped.
