A comedy cricket book, in which you\u2019ll find excerpts from a number of remarkable cricket books, none of which you\u2019ve ever read before because they never actually existed. There\u2019s\u00a0I, Pad<\/em>, Shane Watson\u2019s infamous manifesto arguing that the LBW Law should be abolished. There\u2019s\u00a0Out of My Ed<\/em>, in which you\u2019ll discover the truth about the real Ed Cowan. There\u2019s a\u00a0Banner-Man<\/em>\u00a0comic book, a Mitch Marsh play, and much more. They\u2019re all part of The Instant Cricket Library.<\/p>\n

The book runs the full gamut of parodies:<\/p>\n

– cricketer biographies (including Brendon McCullum, Kevin Pietersen, Ellyse Perry, Andy Bichel, Dean Jones et al)<\/p>\n

– cricket writers and commentators (including Gideon Haigh, Neville Cardus, C L R James, Mark Nicholas, Jarrod Kimber, et al)<\/p>\n

– cricket as interpreted through other genres (travel guides, fantasy, children\u2019s books, true crime, self-help books, mysteries, sci-fi, literary fiction, horror, etc)<\/p>\n

– cricket as interpreted through other formats (comic books, mathematics textbooks, encyclopaedias, bibles (not Wisden, the other one), plays, etc)<\/p>\n

– and other stuff that\u2019s way too difficult to categorise<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also got some magnificent illustrations in there that make the book sing (not literally).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an entire cricket library in one book! You need never buy another cricket book again. Talk about value for money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
