Stroked Through the Covers

This reissued collection of sharp, funny drawings from the author of the world-famous "Dead Cat" series offers a variety of insights to amuse both those who worship the game of cricket and those who deride it. Here are the invention of cricket in the Garden of Eden, the MCC picking a team for Australia blindfold, and many more revelations. "Stroked Through the Covers" shows Simon Bond on top form, hitting a number of sixes and sneaking some delightful quick singles.
