Publisher's Synopsis
"He has suceeded in writing a book that will entertain, a book that will amuse and warm the cockles of tired old hearts." PUNCH This is the story of a team of amateur cricketers who spend two weeks of their summer holidays on a cricket tour of the West Country, and who make up in enthusiasm for what they may lack in skill. The players include: Wodger, the captain, a domineering schoolmaster with a speech impediment; Norman, who gets his place on the side because he's the only person prepared to do the club accounts; and Kurt, a fast bowling clergyman with a surprisingly romantic streak. The cricketers experience glories and disasters as they play their way round Devon and Cornwall and struggle to cope with bizarre pitches and peculiar opponents. As well as enjoying some spectacular scenery, they have numerous hilarious adventures.
