Cricket was built by England, used to colonise and then grew when the underdog nations fought back. Davids challenge Goliaths in every chapter, with tales of English greats and their slayers, from the birth of the Ashes to nation-building draws, poultry-farmer heroics and elephantine triumphs. This book is about much more than just cricket.
