A. G. Steel, Lancaster and England cricket player, set upon himself to create a "modern encyclopedia to which the inexperienced man, who seeks guidance in the practice of the various British Sports and pastimes, can turn for information." Utilizing his personal experience as a cricketer, Steel created an in depth book on all things Cricket. But Steel did not work alone. The book contains a series of articles written by him but also several other experts in the field. These authors include, but are not limited to Andrew Lang, F. Gale, R. H. Lyttelton, and W. G. Grace. Topics covered include: bowling, fielding, umpiring, and batting. In addition to discussing specific cricketing techniques, the book also explores cricket history. There is also an article on the specifics of scoring cricket games. The book also goes above and beyond gaming specifics and discusses the changes in the game of cricket after its inception in Australia. One of the final articles goes into the practices of training young cricketers, explaining the importance of skill and practice. It suggests that not all aspects of cricket can be improved with time, some aspects must be innate features in a child's form. Training young cricketers is important not just to keep raising successful players but also to foster the game or future generations. As a complex and full compendium on the game of cricket, this book also contains a large collection of illustrations to help the reader better understand the concepts represented in the text. Truly a comprehensive review, Cricket covers every aspect of the game and is sure to be a 'hit' with both novice and experienced players.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
