Reviews
“I’ve always believed that cricket is a sport built from,
and shaped by, language, and this splendid collection
proves it. Owzat!”
Ian McMillan
"Sticky Dogs and Stardust is a fund of astonishing stories, which would have remained untold without Scott Oliver’s labours"
Anthony McGowan, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack
"This book is an absolute triumph... Randall has made a valuable contribution to cricket's rich social history"
Paul Edwards, The Cricketer
Few have explored cricket's quirky stories as far and wide as Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins.
There is a refreshing honesty about everything Giles writes, and many reminders about tours and Tests that have not been written about for many years.
