Об электронной книге
One of Australia's best loved writers, William McInnes makes us laugh, cry and grab life with both hands.
Chris Andersen loves cricket. He may not be a legend like Bradman or Boonie, but in the Yarraville West Fourths, Chris Andersen is king. He is the captain, the coach, the manager and, thankfully, a player. They are getting hard to find, players.
Every Saturday in summer Chris ropes together a motley team of men and a couple of boys to turn up in their cricket whites to try and win a game. Everyone has a different reason for being there: to hear the music from a nearby house, a block out the memories of another place, to be entertained, to please their dad, or just to have a go.
And everyone has a story to tell.
'Marvellous reading' - Woman's Day
'Entertaining' - West Australian
'A book about a lot more than cricket... And even though you laugh out loud, you recognise something real' - The Age
'Big-hearted novel with character, leaving the reader with the urge to stand up and cheer' - Sunday Telegraph
'An affectionate, gentle and touching tribute to cricket and blokes who play it for love, not money' - Adelaide Advertiser
