Bat, Bowl and Beyond: The Essential Handbook for New Players and Cricket Fans, (Paperback)

Cricket is a simple game on the surface. Bat, bowl, field, score. Yet anyone who has stepped onto a pitch knows there is far more to learn. Bat, Bowl and Beyond is the complete, confidence-building guide that takes you from first swing to full knowledge.

Designed for players, parents, coaches and clubs at every level, this book goes deeper than the basics. It explains the techniques, tactics and teamwork that help cricketers grow season by season. From choosing the right grip and stance, to understanding field settings, game plans, match pressure and the spirit of cricket, you will learn the skills that make the difference.

Inside you will find clear explanations, images, training tips and coaching insights. Batting, bowling, wicketkeeping and fielding each have their own dedicated sections. Plus, there is a full history and evolution of the game as we know it today from how the equipment came into being down to the present governing bodies of the game.

With a Foreword by Dr Jane Powell, President of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, this is a book rooted in real experience of grassroots cricket and a passion for developing the game.

Whether you are starting out or looking to sharpen your performance, Bat, Bowl and Beyond will help you enjoy cricket with knowledge, purpose and confidence.

Step out to the middle ready to play your best.
