"If the Poms Bat First, Tell the Taxi to Wait" and Other Funny Cricket Quotes (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A compilation of cricket commentators’ gaffes and good-natured banter amongst players. Quotes range from nonsensical remarks – “That’s what happens when, in cricketing parlance, the wheel comes off and you can’t steer the boat” (Bob Willis) – and unintentional puns – “Dean Headley has left the field with a back injury ... more news on that as soon as it breaks” (Pat Murphy) – to stating the bleeding obvious – “And that’s Dickie Bird standing there with his neck between his shoulders” (Brian Johnston) – and gentle musings – “I hope no-one’s house is burning down. It’s much too nice a day to be left without a house” (Henry Blofeld).
