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.
