Anyone But England: An Outsider Looks at English Cricket - Softcover
Mike Marqusee is that exceedingly rare animal: an American who likes cricket - indeed, is obsessed with it, like all true devotees of the game. But coming from a country which didn't invent the game, didn't have an empire and doesn't expect by divine right to be the best in the world at it, gives his perspective on the English game a real originality. Anyone But England stands alongside Beyond a Boundary and Derek Birley's classics, A Social History of English Cricket and The Willow Wand (both published by Aurum) as one of the few indispensable anatomies of the game. It looks at such controversial - even unpalatable - aspects of cricket as racism, fair play and cheating, the place of tradition, the power of the blue-blazered establishment, and why for so long the England team were so bad. On first publication by Verso Marquesee's book attracted an enormous amount of coverage and was condemned by as many died-in-the-wool cricket commentators as it was praised for its freshness and iconoclasm by the more progressively-minded. This new edition includes a new chapter bringing his portrait of the game up to date.
