It's Raining Bats and Pads: The Story of Lancashire County Cricket
Club 1988-1996 vividly captures the sporting and cultural landscape
of the late 1980s to mid-90s, and shows the sea change between then
and now. It's a romantic jaunt through the halcyon days of Mike
Atherton, Neil Fairbrother and Wasim Akram as seen through the eyes
of the author, who as a child and young adult lived through that
era. It harks back to the glory days of lazy linseed summers when
life was much simpler, time was not strictly of the essence and
kids had to entertain themselves. Although primarily a tale of
Lancashire's success on the field - punctuated by some lively
spectator incidents at the grounds - the book also explores broader
societal questions. Is the game in a better place now? Has the
standard of cricket improved? Has freedom of choice caused the
game's popularity to fall among the young? And is the Hundred an
allegory for a society that simply can't wait for better?
