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
“Writers In Whites is a vivid, intriguing cultural history with a wide sweep and, like many of its stars, should appeal beyond a cricket readership.”
