To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the death of Hugh de Sélincourt, @acscricket.bsky.social member John Price has created this webpage about de Sélincourt's famous book "The Cricket Match", described by JM Barrie as "the best book about cricket, or any other game, that has ever been written".
@ACSCricket has some Women's Cricket Magazine issues for sale - please contact me if you are interested in them - soon - there is a move to throw them to save storage costs.
Book cover for Jarrod Kimber's Overthrowing Cricket's Empire: How Every Team Beat England For The First Time, featuring a picture of a huge statue of WG Grace being pulled down by three people with ropes.
Been a while since my last book review, but did feel like Jarrod Kimber's Overthrowing Cricket's Empire was worth some words.
