This book examines historically how cricket was codified out of its
variant folk-forms and then marketed with certain lessons sought to
reinforce the values of a declining landed interest. It goes on to
show how such values were then adapted as part of the imperial
experiment and were eventually rejected and replaced with an ethos
that better reflected the interests of new dominant elites. The
work examines the impact of globalisation and marketization on
cricket and analyses the shift from an English dominance, on a
sport that is ever-increasingly being shaped by Asian forces. The
book's distinctiveness lies in trying to decode the spirit of the
game, outlining a set of actual characteristics rather than a vague
sense of values. An historical analysis shows how imperialism,
nationalism, commercialism and globalisation have shaped and
adapted these characteristics. As such it will be of interest to
students and scholars of sport sociology, post-colonialism,
globalisation as well as those with an interest in the game of
cricket and sport more generally.
