Description
Cricket was once used as a tool to colonise. What happens when those countries grow up? Overthrowing Cricket''s Empire unearths the audacious stories of teams toppling the cricket colossus, England.From W.G. Grace''s Ashes-igniting run-out to Calum MacLeod''s modern heroics, the book spans 150 years of fierce history. New Zealand''s unexpected draws in 1949, Zimbabwe s poultry farmer heroics, Ireland''s audacious chase and hair, India s elephantine triumph and South Africa s spin saga are all etched in defiance.This is a book about a bunch of Davids taking on Goliath. Every chapter has tales of the greatest English players and the men who stood up to slay them. The narrative transcends sport a testament to resilience and national identity. Amid victories, there s human drama.Overthrowing Cricket''s Empire isn t just about cricket; it s an odyssey of liberation, the essence of competition. Cricket is a sport that builds nations, and this book takes you through it brick by brick.
