Sticky Wickets: Australian cricket''s controversies and curiosities

English

By (author): Glen Humphries

Great stories of unusual happenings on and off the cricket field.

The story of cricket is littered with big stories, like Bodyline, underarm balls and tycoons changing the game. But, like Tony Greig checking out the pitch with his keys, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

Sticky Wickets takes a look at stories both big, small and perhaps forgotten. From bees and their dislike of cricket to a storm caused when a cameraman criticised a Test player's fielding. It's perfect to pick up when rain delays play. See more

About Glen Humphries

Glen Humphries is a journalist with the Illawarra Mercury during which time he has covered pretty much everything - except sport oddly enough. As a writer and author he has won several awards including Beer Writer of the Year and a Sydney local history prize. He also writes his own books at Lastdayofschool.net. He's a lifelong rugby league tragic. While he has played 'league' he's never been involved in any onfield biff - hardly surprising considering he last played the sport in primary school. The 1970s is his favourite decade of rugby league: heavy leather footballs; players with enormous masses of facial hair and black goo under the eyes; sandboys ankle-high football boots and daytime grand finals. He lives in Wollongong with his wife daughter and an exceptionally needy staffie cross. His previous books for Gelding Street Press include Biff: Rugby League's infamous fights Jack Gibson's Fur Coat and Sticky Wickets: Australian cricket's controversies and curiousities.
