From a Pakistani teenager left for dead by terrorists to England’s first black international cricketer,
from journalists and broadcasters who have battled adversity to forge careers in cricket to a pair of
Syrian refugees, and from one of England’s greatest all-rounders to the inimitable David ‘Bumble’
Lloyd, Chave writes about the lives of eleven very different people for whom the game of cricket has
been transformative.
Through wide-ranging and illuminating interviews, the author delves deep into the (oftenunpredicted)
life-enhancing properties of cricket, revealing, in some cases, its power to reclaim lives
lived on the brink of despair.
Annie Chave has written extensively on cricket over the past seven years, for most of
which she has been part of the commentary team for the independent radio station, Guerilla Cricket. For the
last two summers she has been the third voice for the BBC commentary team at Somerset CCC. She is the
editor of County Cricket Matters, a quarterly magazine celebrating the county game, and a regular columnist
for The Cricket Paper. She is a Cricket Society committee member and, for the past two years, a judge for the
Cricket Writers’ Club book of the year.
