Fed up with dark, frigid English winters and 'Antiques Roadshow', Simon Hughes seeks a hotter, happier world of sun, seam and sex, travelling to each of the major cricketing nations through 15 winters and bowling for 41 different teams.
As wayward in love as he is with the ball, Hughes asks such probing questions as: why are Australians so pleased with themselves when they live in a vast, useless desert full of spiders? How can West Indians walk so slow and bowl so fast? Why, when England gave cricket to the rest of the world, is the rest of the world so much better at it? And most importantly, why are men so crap?
