Description

Bloomsbury presents Crickonomics by Stefan Szymanski and Tim Wigmore, read by David Thorpe. SELECTED AS ONE OF WATERSTONES BEST SPORT BOOKS OF 2022. A CRICKETER BOOK OF THE YEAR. An engaging tour of the modern game from an award- winning journalist and the economist who co-authored the bestselling Soccernomics. Why does England rely on private schools for their batters – but not their bowlers? How did demographics shape India’s rise? Why have women often been the game’s great innovators? Why does South Africa struggle to produce Black Test batters? And how does the weather impact who wins? Crickonomics explores all of this and much more – including how Jayasuriya and Gilchrist transformed Test batting but T20 didn’t; English cricket’s great missed opportunity to have a league structure like football; why batters are paid more than bowlers; how Afghanistan is transforming German cricket; what the rest of the world can learn from New Zealand and even the Barmy Army’s importance to Test cricket. This incisive book will entertain and surprise all cricket lovers. It might even change how you watch the game. Read more

Format: Paperback
Such a fascinating book! I was just getting into cricket and to learn about all of these other aspects of that impact the game is so neat

  • Revealing facts about international cricket off the field.
Format: Kindle
Very interesting and revealing facts about the 'behind the scenes' of international cricket. The book is well written and an easy read.

  • A novel and fascinating analysis of the sport
Format: Kindle
I have a hefty collection of cricket books, but this must rank as one of the best. We are given a detailed analysis of the sport, frequently supported by statistical analysis. What I like best about this is that the authors address many questions which it would not have occurred to me to ask, but in their book I realised that these were questions well worth asking. The authors would be particularly welcome companions at a test match. They write in an engaging style as well. The sad element for me is that test cricket and other red ball formats are clearly on the way out. The real money lies in the short formats, which I dislike. Fortunately, I am at an age when I can expect red ball cricket still to be played for the rest of my life, but I feel sorry for younger generations who will probably witness its demise. I should conclude on an upbeat, though. This is without doubt one of the best books on cricket that I have ever read. ... show more
