Cricket: The Game of Life: Every reason to celebrate 
by Scyld Berry
Paperback – 29 September 2015
Scyld Berry draws on his experiences as a cricket writer of forty years to produce new insights and unfamiliar historical angles on the game, along with moving reflections on episodes from his own life.
The author covers a range of themes including cricket in different areas of the world, and abstract concepts such as language, numbers, ethics and psychology; Scyld Berry relishes the joys cricket provides and is convinced of the positive effect it can have in people’s lives.
Cricket: The Game of Life is an inspiring book that reminds readers why they love the game and prompts them to look at it in a new way.

Gentlemen and Sledgers: A History of the Ashes in 100 Quotations 
by Rob Smyth
Paperback – 21 August 2017
The story of cricket’s greatest rivalry, told through the tales behind 100 eclectic and entertaining quotations – from the birth of the Ashes in 1882 to the present day.
An updated and expanded edition of Rob Smyth’s rollicking history of Anglo-Australian loathing on the cricket field, including three new pieces to cover the topsy-turvy Ashes series of 2015.
Gentlemen and Sledgers charts the ebb and flow of Anglo-Australian cricketing fortunes across 131 years and 314 matches by telling the stories behind 100 memorable Ashes quotations. Examples of the dark art of sledging – and even the occasional considered cricketing judgement.
Evoking memorable moments and matches as well as highs and lows in the careers of Australia and England’s greatest players, Gentlemen and Sledgers is an informal, freewheeling, discursive and entertainingly opinionated history of the Ashes.
