A Cricket Dictionary von Keith Dunstan
Very funny definitions of cricket terms and a fun challenge to find Jeff's 'hook' hidden in his cartoons. An example of one such definition: "Rain - Something that happens when you have scored 550 runs and you've got 'em cold in the second innings at 7 for 84."

Dunstan also offers an interesting description of fan reactions to the Ron Barassi transfer to Carlton in December 1964, and the suspension of John Coleman on the eve of the 1951 finals.… (mehr)
