http://www.cricketweb.net en-us Stay up-to date with what's happening in the Cricket Books world http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7572.php It would seem from this week's review that the old adage "Form is temporary, class is permanent" applies just as appropriately to writing about the game as playing it. Sun, 26 Aug 2012 01:16:27 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7572.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7531.php Feature writer David Mutton makes his bow on CW with this week's review, a look at a biography of one of English cricket's more interesting characters from a couple of generations ago Sun, 19 Aug 2012 04:29:36 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7531.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7501.php Copies of some books that are published on the sub-continent can be tricky to track down - did this title about Shahid Afridi reward the effort Martin put in to find it? Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:38:32 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7501.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7487.php The flow of, and presumably therefore demand for, books about Sir Donald Bradman, shows no sign of drying up. We haven't reviewed many, so to help redress the balance David has been reading a 1996 biography. Sun, 05 Aug 2012 02:28:01 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7487.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7475.php This week Martin reviews a new biography of an all-rounder who was at the heart of England's all conquering side of the 1950s. Sun, 29 Jul 2012 01:25:40 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7475.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7459.php This week feature writer Gareth Bland reviews a personal favourite; the England captain's classic account of what was, the more senior amongst us would argue, the greatest Ashes series of them all. Sun, 22 Jul 2012 03:22:28 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7459.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7448.php Few cricket books can properly be described as bestsellers, but they do come round occasionally, and this week Martin reviews one from last year. Sun, 15 Jul 2012 03:10:24 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7448.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7437.php Last week Martin mentioned a whole raft of books credited to the late Alan Ross. For his review this week David has dug out another, rather more recent project, to which Ross contributed. Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:58:17 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7437.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7423.php Although it rather took Martin by surprise it is that time of year again, so this week it is time for our twice yearly look at recent and forthcoming titles. Sun, 01 Jul 2012 08:31:48 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7423.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7414.php This week we have our last review of the first half of 2012. The honour fell to Stuart but, sadly, it would seem that the task was not particularly pleasureable. Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:33:49 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7414.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7398.php This week Archie has been reading an anthology which, fortunately for him, has been edited by one of the best in the business. Sun, 17 Jun 2012 03:44:26 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7398.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7392.php Don't be fooled by the title of this week's review. We do limit ourselves to books that are about cricket, although on this occasion Martin has stretched the criteria a little. Sun, 10 Jun 2012 03:14:24 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7392.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7388.php This year is the 149th consecutive year in which the good book has made its annual appearance. This year it falls to David to review the great sporting annual. Sun, 03 Jun 2012 09:55:52 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7388.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7374.php In the coming weeks a number of Brian Johnston books are being re-released to mark the centenary of his birth. This week Martin reviews the first of them. Sun, 27 May 2012 10:52:10 -0500 http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7374.php http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/7363.php This week's book won't have been noticed by many, but as it bears the imprint of the ACS, and has Martin's seal of approval, perhaps its appeal will now broaden a little.
