IN SEARCH OF YORKSHIRE'S GRASSROOTS CRICKET

Nowt stops for cricket in Yorkshire. Passion runs deep, beyond those in whites, to the groundsmen, tea ladies, scorers and umpires who embody the game.

 

All Wickets Great and Small is a journey across cities and dales to meet those involved with amateur cricket in Yorkshire during the summer of 2015. The book is a winning combination of rail travel and cricket teas with a chance to uncover tales from pavilions across the county.
