'Engaging and enjoyable . . . as probing and as penetrative as a
Jimmy Anderson opening spell . . . This is no ordinary novel by no
ordinary novelist' Sunday Times 'A fine addition to the painfully
thin oeuvre of modern fictional works about cricket' Mike Atherton,
The Times 'Outstanding' Mail on Sunday 'If all you know is cricket,
then cricket will break you . . .' It is the final Test match of
The Ashes. A nation expects, and the rest of the cricketing world
is watching. Fast-paced, humorous and candid, The Test follows the
battles on and off the field as stand-in England captain, James
McCall, tries to get his exhausted team across the finish line.
Along the way, his story becomes one of fatherhood, friendship and
trusting yourself when no one else will. Nathan Leamon's love
letter to Test cricket is that rare thing: a novel that captures
the feel and flavour of professional sport from the inside - the
good, the bad and the simply surreal. Not since J. L. Carr's
classic A Season in Sinji has there been a novel that quite
captures the spirit of the game. Included in Wisden Cricket
