5 out of 5 stars Informative and amusing at the same time   November 26, 2000

This book is best suited to somebody who has witnessed some cricket without having a clue what was going on. The book is filled with answers to questions typical of the ones a novice might ask (why do they all wear white? don't they all get bored? who's WINNING???). Fun cartoons throughout. I understand that the UK edition of this book is called 'what is a googly?'.

Cricket the grand old English game, the gentlemens game. More research should have explained the games heritage and how it was introduced to the countries that were under English rule, thus giving a greater understanding of how the game came to dominate in the former English colonies. I think that this emphasis would have made for not only a deeper understanding of why Cricket has failed to establish itself as a serious sport in many countries that were not part of the English commowealth but also why the game is steaped in English tradition.

This is a great starter book for anyone interested in the great English pastime of cricket. This book explains the rules to you without confusing you with lots of weird terms. Cricket Explained also recommends places to see matches and what to bring. I think this is a wonderful book that teaches you without confusing you.
