Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Cricket But Were Afraid to Ask explains the often-baffling laws of modern sport to the new fan, spectator or the 'sport widow' in a light-hearted and easy-to-understand way. Written as if by a very patient but understanding friend, this is a humorous guide to the rules of modern cricket. Writer Iain Macintosh explains how cricket works and why it is so popular, and reveals the history of the game. He guides the novice through the basic rules of the sport in a bouncy, easy style but also explains the fast-changing pace of the modern game that has made it even more compelling. If you've ever wondered what a Barmy Army is and how you sign up, or even if you've just wanted someone to sit you down and explain that whole LBW thing, this book is all you ever needed to know about cricket, but were afraid to ask.
