Title: Bat Ball and Field – The Elements of Cricket
Author: HOTTEN JON

A beautifully illustrated journey through the history and evolution of cricket, from one of our greatest sports writers.

‘Hotten is not just good, he is one of the best’ Cricketer The Elements of Cricket is a cricket book unlike any other published before, an extraordinary, eccentric guide and charming visual representation of the game, from the weather and wood that make it possible to the achievements of its greatest and most famous players.

The book is divided into the three parts that make up the fundamental elements of cricket: bat, ball and field. Their harmony produces cricket’s unique environment; their centuries’ long conflict provides its innovation, adaptability and vast psychological hinterland. These sections unite to map out in a completely original way the story of the sport that began as a country pursuit and is now followed by billions across the world.
