For cricket enthusiasts there is nothing to match the meaningful contests and excitement generated by the games subtle shifts in play. Conversely, huge swathes of the worlds population find cricket the most obscure and bafflingly impenetrable of sports. The Changing Face of Cricket attempts to account for this paradox.
The Changing Face of Cricket provides an overview of the various ways in which social scientists have analyzed the games cultural impact. The books international analysis encompasses Australia, the Caribbean, England, India, Ireland, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Its interdisciplinary approach allies anthropology, history, literary criticism, political studies and sociology with contributions from cricket administrators and journalists. The collection addresses historical and contemporary issues such as gender equality, global sports development, the impact of cricket mega-events, and the growing influence of commercial and television interests culminating in the Twenty20 revolution.
Whether one loves or hates the game, understands what turns square legs into fine legs, or how mid-offs become silly, The Changing Face of Cricket will enlighten the reader on the games cultural contours and social impact and prove to be the essential reader in cricket studies.
