"Bat, Ball and Field" offers a marvelous exploration of the history and culture of cricket.
Jon Hotten analyzes the evolution of the sport from its earliest days, highlighting defining moments as well as tragedies. He unveils the seemingly impenetrable cloak of rules, batting, types of bowling, and the sometimes strange names given to field positions, thus providing a path to enjoy the sport and delve into its rich history.
This book is divided into three parts that represent the fundamental elements of cricket: the bat, the ball, and the field. Their harmony creates the unique environment of cricket, while their timeless conflict offers innovation, adaptability, and an immense psychological backdrop. These sections unite the narrative of the sport that started as a rural activity and is now watched by billions of people worldwide.
