Sunseekers Cricket Club

 Rain Men: The Madness of Cricket - Our kind of book! This text is aimed at the weekend player who happily gives up his valuable afternoon to be given out for 0 by an umpire who can't quite remember the lbw law (Kev maybe). It draws together experience at the coalface of cricket, where there's danger in every slice of sponge cake (potential for Mick to pull another muscle) and no one thinks twice about bowling donkey drops straight out of the sun.

Phil Tufnell: What Now? Colston writes - Bought this 18 months ago when looking for something to read in the pub in the evenings on a walking trip. Perfect for that: lightweight, entertaining, mildly controversial, obviously ghostwritten, heavier on insight into the dullness and frustrations of long tours and the things players do to combat them than on statistics and all the better for it. Might enjoy a few sales now that Tuffers has his new TV notoriety.

Menace: The Autobiography of Dennis Lillee

Cricket's Strangest Matches ... - A collection of cricketing tales gathered from the past 150 years of the game. These stories range from the bizarre to the hilarious.
