Reviews
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.
Martin Chandler, Cricket Web
An uplifting and joyous read, capturing – at times with stunning emotion – the power of cricket to transform lives.
Stephen Chalke
Scott Oliver's series is building into a magnum opus of love from and for the leagues... Some of [the cricket described] is so lovingly rendered that you genuinely wish you had been boundary-side to watch a long-forgotten contest of epic, unimportant intensity.
Jon Hotten, Wisden Cricket Monthly
Beautifully written, as are all books by Stephen Chalke, pacy and well-structured.
Chris Waters, The Yorkshire Post
