Incidentally cricket hardback

This book is impossible to read on the train.Reading Alan Haslehurst is like watching a bomb explode in slow motion. The combustible pieces are gathered together in the first few chapters and gradually and inevitably the whole process moves towards an almighty explosion of mirthful chaos.The cricket detail is precise,and worth reading for itself but the real joy of the Outcasts is the quickening descent into utter madness and a cast of the most wonderfully eccentric people ever gathered between book covers.
I don't know what this book will do for village cricket and rural beer sales but it certainly worked for me.
