Cricket Books

An honest and frank account of a turbulent 20-year career, laying bare a unique personality along with controversial new revelations from the international and domestic game.
A thrilled Chris Waters has been named as the acclaimed 2012 winner of the prestigious Cricket Society and MCC Book Of The Year Award, presented in a packed Long Room at Lord's - for his book - Fred Trueman, the Authorised Biography. Chris beat off strong opposition from four other books, including one by novelist Anthony Quinn, to take the £3000 award presented by author and publisher and previous winner Stephen Chalke.
Corinthian Books - the sports imprint of Independent Alliance publisher Icon Books - introduces an uplifting tale of cricket (but not as you know it) making a difference in far-flung parts of the globe: Third Man in Havana. For six years Tom Rodwell, Chairman of The Lord's Taverners, ran cricketing programmes from Cuba to Zimbabwe, attempting to soothe the world’s ills with the curiously English balm known as cricket.
One of the most acclaimed debuts of last year. In the author's own words, "If you can't understand why anyone would watch, let alone obsess over this dull game, then this is the book for you." Retired sportswriter WG Karunasena is dying. He will spend his final months drinking arrack, making his wife unhappy, ignoring his son and attempting to track down Pradeep S. Mathew, a spin bowler who has mysteriously disappeared and who WG considers 'the greatest cricketer to walk the earth'.
