Do you know...

- the difference between a chinaman and a doosra?

- where to find cow corner, the V, and the corridor of uncertainty?

- what Nelson, Merlyn and Michelle have to do with cricket?

- how to get a ball to reverse-swing, or how the Duckworth/Lewis method works?

- the origin of yorker, googly, and third man?

The Wisden Dictionary of Cricket is the definitive guide to the noble game. This fully updated third edition is not only an A-Z guide to all things cricket, it also includes illustrations showing positions and strategy, and quotations from cricket literature worldwide - from 18th century match reports right up to the Darrell Hair affair.

It will appeal to anyone with an interest in the game - from the seasoned aficionado to the youngest new recruit. If you've ever wondered why a batsman can expect a jaffa on a bunsen, or how to go aerial when you're on a shirtfront... this is the book for you.
