Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled "One Man's Vain Attempt To Explain Cricket To A Teenager Who Couldn't Give A Toss". This is a hilarious account of Sandy Balfour's attempts to introduce his daughter's boyfriend to the joys of the sport. Published for the start of the county season and with the Ashes to come this summer, this is one of those entertaining paeans to cricket and its role in life, the universe and everything.

Publisher's description:

The author and the skateboarding Boy Wonder are from different universes, but when a broken ankle scupper's the boy's holiday plans he reticently agrees to accompany the author to Lord's. After a rain-interrupted start to their relationship things begin to click and slowly but surely cricket creeps into their shared summer.
