Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This first book to tell the full story of cricket in Sri Lanka is sure to be a contender for sports book awards. From Sathasivam to Sangakkara, Murali to Malinga, Sri Lanka can lay claim to some of the world's most remarkable cricketers larger-than-life characters, who thumbed convention and played the game their own way. More so than anywhere else in the world, Sri Lankan cricket has an identity. This is the land of pint-sized swashbuckling batsman, on-the-fly innovators and contorted, cryptic spinners. On the field of play, Victorian ideals of the past collide with madcap tropical hedonism to create something dizzying. Cricket is Sri Lanka, and Sri Lanka is cricket. We all know the story of the '96 World Cup: how a team of unfancied amateurs rose from obscurity to top the world, doing so with such swagger that they changed the way the game was played. Yet the lore of Sri Lankan cricket stretches back much further. In the early days, matches between colonists and locals imbued cricket with a nationalistic drive. Ashes-bound ships stopping over in Colombo brought the world's biggest stars, from Bligh and Bradman to Grace and Grimmet. More recently, Sri Lanka has had to face the triumphs and tragedies that come when cash flows freely into the gentleman's game. An Island's Eleven tells this story for the first time, focusing on the characters and moments that have shaped the game forever. AUTHOR: Nicholas Brookes is an English writer, who has been based in Colombo since April 2018. He has covered Sri Lankan cricket and its history for international publications including ESPN's The Cricket Monthly and Wisden's The Nightwatchman. 20 colour illustrations This first book to tell the full story of cricket in Sri Lanka is sure to be a contender for sports book awards Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
