There’s nothing like a good cricket book for the start of the World Cup! Bloody hilarious account of a self-described cricket tragic who couldn’t find a team to play for, so created his own. Love the references to all the English cricketers of old, like Derek Randall and Chris Tavare- underachievers and unconventional but proud of them because they’re English. The Captain Scott Invitational XI sounds hilarious, especially all the characters, whose duplicates seem to inhabit every team I’ve played for and against. Also just has a great way with words. Will definitely try to track down more of his books.
