No object encapsulates the subtle, mysterious richness of cricket
as much as its most famous character, the cricket ball: the
swinging, bouncing, spinning heart of the glorious game. Gary Cox
tells us the life story of the ball in its many guises: new ball,
old ball, live ball, dead ball, no-ball, lost ball, swing ball and
dot ball. He untangles the complexities of spin bowling (with a
little help from Shane Warne), the tricks and cheats involved in
ball tampering (including a look at the 2018 Australian scandal)
and explores the multi-coloured future of a rapidly changing game.
A kaleidoscopic look at the ball through the lenses of everything
from philosophy and science to history, politics and biography and
the myriad facts and figures of the vast cricket universe, Cox
brings you a brimming biography of this legendary leathern orb and
the heroes, fools and villains it has created along the way.
