From laughs and legends to sledges and stuff-ups, this is the cricket season gift. From a horse that took a triple hat-trick, to captains who tossed over the telephone, and an umpire who went missing in mid-over for a week Favourite Cricket Yarns is a compelling smorgasbord of tall and mostly true stories, from Australian cricket's master storyteller Ken Piesse. Gaffes, sledges, bloopers and quips just in time from the man who, in the words of Ricky Ponting, lives, eats and breathes cricket. Jam-packed with great laugh-a-minute anecdotes to amuse and entertain all cricket lovers. A wide range of great photographs and funny cartoons by Paul Harvey. Foreword by Ricky Ponting.
