Sunday "An insightful, Hawk-Eye-like analysis of the numbers behind
cricket" Financial Times An engaging tour of the modern game from
an award-winning journalist and the economist who co-authored the

for their batters - but not their bowlers? How did demographics
shape India's rise? Why have women often been the game's great
innovators? Why does South Africa struggle to produce Black Test
batters? And how does the weather impact who wins? Crickonomics
explores all of this and much more - including how Jayasuriya and
Gilchrist transformed Test batting but T20 didn't; English
cricket's great missed opportunity to have a league structure like
football; why batters are paid more than bowlers; how Afghanistan
is transforming German cricket; what the rest of the world can
learn from New Zealand and even the Barmy Army's importance to Test
cricket. This incisive book will entertain and surprise all cricket
lovers. It might even change how you watch the game.
