Category Description

Cricshop has a rib-tickling selection of cricket books that will have fans of all ages splitting their sides! There is a host of brand new releases, as well as all the classics.

We stock a wide variety of humourous books, penned by some of cricket's greatest writers. Simon Hughes' Stiff Upper Lips and Baggy Green Caps is filled with jokes, bouncers and even the odd diplomatic incident. It offers readers a thoroughly rip-roaring journey through 124 years of Ashes history and exposes the sordid side of the game - certainly not for the faint-hearted!

Light Hearted Cricket Reading

One of our most popular humorous books is The Sledger's Handbook, noted for its quotes from various sledge-happy cricketers and gives loads of examples of how to deliver the perfect cricketing insult!

Some of the content of these titles may not be entirely suitable for younger fans of the game, but make brilliant presents for the grown-ups!
