Opis
Far from Lord’s follows England’s demanding overseas tours between 1953 and 1969, a period when cricketers - and the writers who shadowed them - spent months at a time far from home.
From Richard Knott, author of the acclaimed All-India and Down Under: Peace, Partition and the Game of Cricket, this immersive book:
Features 17 years of England tours, showing how Test cricket evolved while placing the tours in their political context
Introduces us to a host of cricketing legends - Hutton, May, Cowdrey, Dexter - and the correspondents who captured both the cricket and the cultures they encountered, such as Alan Ross, Ian Peebles and Jim Swanton
Examines the relationship between touring cricketers and the journalists who travelled alongside them
Highlights the correspondents themselves - their lives beyond cricket, their character and their experiences on tour
Charts major developments in the game, including the end of the amateur - professional divide, slowing over rates and changing scoring patterns
Balances the wider realities of touring - travel, relationships, pressures - with a close focus on key moments on the field of play
Evokes the distinctive atmosphere of each country, capturing landscapes, cities and the nuances of travel
A rich blend of sport history and cultural insight, this book is a must-read for cricket enthusiasts and anyone interested in the 1950s and 1960s.
