 hilarious , even for a non cricket fan June 19, 2008
Mrs. J. Peel (uk)
I found this book in a holiday flat I'd rented, I couldn't put it down . I frequently laughed so loudly that I had to explain to my husband why the tears were rolling down my cheeks. It leaves you feeling happy and sad at the same time. I loved it so much I came home and bought my own copy.

I almost gave up on this book several times as it appears, to me, to be nothing more than an account of Trustafarian, old-etonian, Hugo and Marcus types galavanting around the world on a whim.
It gets better from the mid-point. Ocassionaly funny but more often than not it's only mildly amusing. There are some interesting accounts of places around the globe though.
Go for 'Fatty Batter'. It's 10 times better.
a fabulously funny read May 1, 2008

to the travellers on the metropolitan line can i apologise for my constant laughter whilst reading this book over the last week or so.
a superbly observed book written with a beautiful passion, as someone who has played team sport for along time this really did find my funny bone from the very first pages and a smile was on my face until the last few pages which were then replaced with a few tears!!!just about the funniest sports book i have come across, you will not be dissapointed....and its put me off ever using british airways again.bloody brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charming, witty and frequently laught-out-loud funny. Harry Thompson's book is a tale of a group of oddball friends all sharing a total addiction to village cricket. But things really become strange when they embark on a worldwide tour that will see them play cricket on every continent in the world. Cricket fans will adore this great little book but even those, and I include myself in this category, who have never watched or played a minute of cricket will be charmed and delighted.
