Synopsis

HOWZAT? takes a look at the club cricketer - how he plays and what happens to him. You will recognize all the cricketing the poet who reclines in the field blowing dandelion seeds, the club drunk who cannot come out to bat without a minimum of sixteen pints, and the visiting American who just has to play the ethnic game during his sabbatical in England. Rain or shine they're out on the pitch practising strategies for handling fast bowling, for making friends with the umpire, for distracting the batsman. If these fail there is at least the opportunity to release pent-up emotions through the cricket ball. In the event passion and energy have been known to wipe the batsman from the field. In this hilarious tour of the cricket pitch Kevin Macey and Tony Benyon point out the vagaries of the whole team. HOWZAT? is not only a handy cricket manual for anyone who sports whites in the season, but also an invaluable guide for the innocent by-stander.
