Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Welcome to the world of The Grade Cricketer. Described as the most original voice in cricket, this book represents the fading hopes and dreams of every ageing amateur sportsman. In this tell-all 'autobiography', the book describes his cricketing career with unflinching honesty and plenty of humour, in turn providing insights into the hyper-masculine cricket 'dressing room'. This one-time junior prodigy is now experiencing the lean, increasingly existential years of adult cricket. Here, he learns quickly that one will need more than just runs and wickets to make it in the alpha-dominated grade cricket jungle, where blokes like Nuggsy, Bruiser, Deeks and Robbo reign supreme. Through it all, The Grade Cricketer lays bare his deepest insecurities -- his relationship with Dad, his fleeting romances outside the cricket club - and, in turn, we witness a gentle maturation; a slow realisation that perhaps, just maybe, there is more to life than hitting 50 not out in third grade and enjoying a few celebratory beers afterwards. Or is there? The book is based upon the popular Twitter account, @gradecricketer, which has received critical acclaim for its frighteningly honest portrayal of amateur cricket. Now, the time has finally come for this middling amateur sportsman to tell his story in full. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Grade Cricketer is without doubt the most original voice in cricket. Over the past four years, this 'everyman' cricketer has successfully captured the rich humour and absurdities of club cricket in just 140 characters or less, with some 40,000 Twitter followers feasting on his every word.An expert on everything to do with the game (except scoring runs and taking wickets) his observations on amateur sport carry frightening levels of 'real-talk'. He is cricket's answer to Socrates- a modern-day philosopher in whites. But while many have urged him to reveal his identity, The Grade Cricketer has been content to share his wisdom through his anonymous Twitter account (often while seated on the toilet at work). Until now. This is unlike any cricket book you've seen before. In fact, it's the type of autobiography you wish professional cricketers had the confidence to write. It's vulnerable. It's self-deprecating. It's hilarious. If Tom Wolfe turned his hand to cricket fiction, it might look something like this.
