Description
āThe perfect read on a summerās afternoon in the garden, or, better still, on the boundaryā, The Cricketer Before Neville Cardus, there was no such thing as cricket writing. As John Arlott said, the game was merely reported. With Cardus, āit was for the first time appreciated, felt, and imaginatively describedā. With The Great Romantic, Duncan Hamiltonās acclaimed biography, the 2019 William Hill Sports Book of the Year, what better introduction to the greatest cricket writer of all than all his most evocative, most memorable writing in one volume? Here, then, is Cardus on Don Bradman, Victor Trumper, Denis Compton and Richie Benaud, at Roses matches and the arcadian cricket festival at Dover beneath Shakespeare Cliff, seeing the Australians defeated at Eastbourne ā and of course at the home of cricket, Lordās. 'A beautiful collection of the best of Cardus's writing', Daily Mail
