About the Book:
'In this book I have made every endeavour to put as clearly and concisely as possible all the ideas gained over a period of years.
So fas as batting is concerned, I feel that my record in Test Matches is the best justification of my methods. By means of the written word, I trust I may be able to assist some of the cricketers of today, but mainly the cricketers of the future.'
Here is the art of cricket by one of the greatest in the game, the acknowledged master. Written with the same passion as for the game, Don Bradman shares all that he knew and understood about cricket.
The book includes instructions on batting, the different strokes, bowling, fielding and running between wickets.
Written in a delightful style, the book is a look at classic technique of the game.
How To Play Cricket is as relevant as it was when Bradman was the most sought-after cricketer on earth. Revived by Orient Publishing, it is a compact presentation of Bradman’s idea of cricket with dedicated chapters discussing various aspects of the game. “Herein, you will find no difficult scientific explanations. Practical common sense in one’s play is very often more effective than any textbook can be,” writes Bradman. The book provides an insight into the technical details concerning batting, bowling, fielding and also running between wickets. There is a superb chapter on selecting a bat and preparing the blade. How To Play Cricket discusses the correct way of playing the game, so tellingly signified by Bradman. It can be a handy manual for a youngster taking his first steps in the world of cricket.
'He consistently scored at a level that made him worth three batsman to Australia'.
Sir Donald George Bradman, (1908-2001), is widely acknowledged as the greatest Test batsman in the history of the game. His career Test batting average of 99.94 is often cited as the greatest achievement in any major sport.
The story of how young Bradman practiced with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part of cricketing folklore. His meteoric rise to the Teat team took just two years. He captained the Australian team for twelve years and did not lost a single rubber.
