The Wisden Dictionary Of Cricket

'The Wisden Dictionary Of Cricket' by Michael Rundell is the definitive A-Z glossary of the noble game as it is played around the world.

The language of cricket is as complex and fascinating as the game itself; it is made up partly of words unique to the game ('googly') and partly of common English words used in a special way ('square, point and walk'). But this is more than just a dictionary; it also includes features on cricket idioms, cricket in literature and cricketing quotations, as well as a range of illustrations depicting positions and strategy.

A fascinating resource that can be used as a reference work or browsed for pleasure, this book will appeal to both cricket buffs and those who are new to the game.
