"An intricate and colourful story of deception beautifully
rendered. As a portrait of the idiosyncrasies of English cricket,
Cometh the Yuan is a Chinese cut above the rest." - The Guardian
They said it could never happen. They said such a national treasure
would never be allowed to fall into China's insatiable grasping
clutches. And anyway, they said, what could China possibly want
with the spiritual home of the game of cricket? Retribution, said
some. Lord's Cricket Ground owes its eighteenth century origins to
fortunes made from getting the Chinese hooked on opium and now it's
payback time. Nonsense, said China. We're just extending a helping
hand to a western cultural icon in a financial fix. Honest.
Smelling a sizeable rat in China's assurances, the fraternity of
world cricket starts digging. What it unearths is enough to shake
western civilisation to its roots. With England's hosting of the
Cricket World Cup just a year away, China's motives for taking an
interest in Lord's are not only not honourable, it discovers,
they're simply not cricket."
