THE GREAT ROMANTIC: CRICKET AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF NEVILLE CARDUS

By Duncan Hamilton

Synopsis

Neville Cardus, the most revered cricket writer in the world, once described how one majestic stroke-maker 'made music' and 'spread beauty' with his bat. Duncan Hamilton, an award-winning sports writer himself, demonstrates how Cardus changed sports journalism for ever. While popularising cricket he became a star in his own right with exquisite phrase-making, disdain for statistics and a penchant for literary and musical allusions.
