Thoroughly enjoyable journey around the northern leagues in cricket. Lots of cameos and stories of great cricketers... ( ) Harry Pearson's later books (and "Slipless in Settle" is one of those) aren't the ribticklers that his earlier books, such "A Tall Man in a Low Land", are but "Slipless ..." is still worth casting an eye over. The fact that the subject matter is cricket also helped keep me interested throughout. Pearson attends a number of league matches throughout the north, including the Lancashire League, the most well known of all cricketing leagues, and reminisces about the great players of the past who played in the northern leagues. Pearson drops the odd piece of trivia about cricketers and before you know it, you've finished the book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Slipless in Settle is a sentimental journey around club cricket in the north of England, a world far removed from the clichéd lengthening-shadows-on-the-village-green image of the summer game. This is hardcore cricket played in former pit villages and mill towns. Winner of the 2011 MCC Cricket Book of the Year, it is about the little clubs that have, down the years, produced some of the greatest players Britain has ever seen, and at one time spent a fortune on importing the biggest names in the international game to boost their battle for local supremacy. Slipless in Settle is a warm, affectionate and outrageously funny sporting odyssey in which Andrew Flintoff and Learie Constantine rub shoulders with Asbo-tag-wearing all-rounders, there's hot-pot pie and mushy peas at the tea bar, two types of mild in the clubhouse, and a batsman is banned for a month for wearing a fireman's helmet when going out to face Joel Garner . . .
