澳大利亚板球大师肯·皮尔斯(Ken Piesse)是一位50年来一直在当地俱乐部担任记分员的板球大师,他最喜欢的板球故事是一个引人入胜的大杂烩,其中包括一匹上演三顶帽子戏法的马、一个在电话里翻来覆去的队长,以及一个在比赛中途失踪了一小段时间的裁判。
失态、雪橇、喧闹和俏皮话交织在一分钟的中段趣闻轶事和一系列令人惊叹的插图和卡通之间,肯定会让人愉悦。
Favourite Cricket Yarns: From Laughs and Legends to Sledges and Stuff-ups
From a horse that took a triple hat-trick, to captains who tossed over the telephone, and an umpire who went missing in mid-over for a wee, Favourite Cricket Yarns is a compelling smorgasboard of tall and mostly true stories, from Australian cricket’s master storyteller Ken Piesse, who began a 50-year association with the game as a scorer for his local club.
Gaffes, sledges, bloopers and quips are intermingled between laugh-a-minute mid-pitch anecdotes and a stunning range of illustrations and cartoons sure to delight.
