The Spirit of Cricket (The spirit of series) Book

The Spirit of... series is quickly establishing itself as one of the leading sports photography collections and The Spirit of Cricket more than upholds the standard. Beautifully packaged in a panoramic format and packed with full colour photography, this is an essential companion to the sport of gentlemen, with highs and lows, moments of drama and calm all captured in its pages. It is impossible to describe in detail all the many wonderful and breathtaking shots that can be found within the book, but highlights include a feelgood picture of jubilant fans celebrating England's historic victory over Australia in the Third Test at Headingley in July 1981 and a triumphant Australian team lifting the World Cup after beating Pakistan in the final at Lords in June 1999. The book also takes the reader on an atmospheric tour of the world's cricket grounds and includes seven articles by respected cricket writer Frank Keating. Put simply, this book is a delightful gem and delivers as much as it promises not only for the ardent fan, but the occasional supporter. If you have only a passing interest in cricket then you must own this book. If cricket is your life, then it should be made a crime not to have it on your shelves. --Jonathan WeirRead More
