Gary Cox finds more angles on the cricket ball than Shane Warne!
Curious, reflective, discursive, Cricket Ball is in part a philosopher’s disquisition on the hard leather object, in part a devotee’s meditation on the game itself.
One of the most original cricket books you'll ever read.
Cricket ball is a thoughtful delight…It is infinitely more worthy than most of the cliche-ridden pap that crams the sports shelves in our bookshops.
