Compelling story of US cricket in the 21st century – a game that was once a proud part of American sports, lost its way and is now returning.Cricket in America? Usually the conjunction of those words is greeted with disbelief. Most Americans, if they are aware of cricket at all, regard it as an esoteric pastime popular with South Asians. Even old world cricket fans are often unaware of America’s long and proud cricketing history. This riveting book:Introduces us to the men and women at the helm of the US cricketing resurgence: from LA ex-gang members to the Bronx woman teaching cricket at a New York high school, to the dreamers and idealists keeping the cricket flag flying in the most unlikely of backwatersTells the full story of the Compton Homies and Popz, the team from South Central Los Angeles that brought cricket to one of the harshest urban environments on the planetFeatures the tragi-comic tale of the dysfunctional governing body and the ups and downs of the national team, from underachievement to exile to an unlikely triumph on the world stageBrings us the views of players, administrators, movers and shakers, plus commentators who have strived to revive the game in the USSpotlights the gutsy individuals who have endeavoured to create a space for women to play the game in the USUncovers the thriving but largely ignored subculture that exists for the game: one that could – eventually – change cricket’s global balance of power An American Cricket Odyssey examines the revival and the cultural forces underpinning it, as well as the unique difficulties cricket faces in establishing a bridgehead in the country’s sporting culture.

Cricket is an Indian game accidentally invented by the English, it has famously been said. But India was represented by a cricket team long before it became a nation.Conceived by an unlikely coalition of imperial and local elites, it took twelve years and four failed attempts before the first Indian cricket team made its debut on the playing fields of imperial Britain. Drawing on an unparalleled range of original archival sources, Cricket Country is the story of this first ''All India'' national cricket tour of Great Britain and Ireland. It is also simultaneously the extraordinary tale of how the idea of India took shape on the cricket pitch long before the country gained its political independence.Replete with a highly improbable cast of characters, the tour took place against the backdrop of anti-colonial protest and revolutionary terrorism in the high noon of Edwardian imperialism, with an Indian team that included the young, newly enthroned ruler of the most powerful Sikh state in India as its captain and, remarkably for the day, two Dalit cricketers as well.Over the course of their historic tour in the blazing Coronation summer of 1911, these Indian cricketers participated in a collective enterprise that epitomizes the way in which sport - and above all cricket - helped fashion the imagined communities of both nation and empire.

Cricket defines Englishness like no other national pastime. From its earliest origins in the sixteenth century (or an early version played by shepherds called creag in the 1300s), through the formation of the MCC and the opening of Lord''s cricket ground in 1787, to the spread of county cricket in the next century, when the Wisden Cricketers'' Almanack was first published and the Ashes series was born, this simple sport of bat and ball has captured the imagination of the masses. Throughout its 500-year history, cricket has been a mirror for society as a whole, reflecting the changes that have brought us from the quintessential village green to Freddie Flintoff''s pedalo, from W G Grace to Monty Panesar, via a fair number of eccentrics, heroes and downright villains.William Hill Award-winning writer Simon Hughes, no mean player himself, has lived and breathed cricket his whole life and now takes his analytical skills and typically irreverent eye to charting the history of English cricket. But this is no dry, dusty tome. It is the story of the mad characters who inhabit the game, the extraordinary lengths people will go to to watch and play it, the tale of a national obsession. It debunks the myth of cricket sportsmanship, showing the origins of sledging and match-fixing in centuries of subterfuge, corruption and violence. And it takes us beyond sport, to the heart of what it really means to be English.

Cricket is a strange game. It is a team sport that is almost entirely dependent on individual performance. Its combination of time, opportunity and the constant threat of disaster can drive its participants to despair. To survive a single delivery propelled at almost 100 miles an hour takes the body and brain to the edges of their capabilities, yet its abiding image is of the gentle village green, and the glorious absurdities of the amateur game.In The Meaning of Cricket, Jon Hotten attempts to understand this fascinating, frustrating and complex sport. Blending legendary players, from Vivian Richards to Mark Ramprakash, Kevin Pietersen to Ricky Ponting, with his own cricketing story, he explores the funny, moving and melancholic impact the game can have on an individual life.
