About

Cricket is one of the 'whackiest' games on Planet Earth. (Probably) invented by bored shepherds, cricket has bounced its way to the second most popular sport in the world! If you want to know how to bowl a googly or why there's a place on the pitch called 'Cow Corner', stun your friends with your reverse sweep, or be a stats Jedi, this is the book for you!

Cracking Cricket is the third book in the Stupendous Sports series which aims to do for PE what Horrible Histories did for Year 7 History. Full of jokes, cartoons, fun facts, and a spotlight on famous players, it's perfect for fans, would-be players and newcomers alike.
