  There is something for every cricket lover in The England Cricket Miscellany . The England cricket team has a long and storied history, but this book is not exclusively a work of reference, or a compendium of lists, or a collection of biographies, or a compilation of trivia. It is a gloriously quirky mixture of all these things and much more besides. Within these pages, the reader will learn hundreds of fascinating facts about the England team on a wide range of topics, from the Bodyline Tour to Freddie's Ashes summer, encompassing the notable feats with bat and ball of both the cricketing gods and their assistant pie-throwers and the epic Test match encounters in which they participated. A veritable cornucopia of information about the quintessential summer game, The England Cricket Miscellany will bring hours of reading pleasure to every fan.
