Description

Yakking Around the World. A Cricketer's quest for love and utopia by Simon Hughes. Fed up with the dark frigid English winters and Antiques Road Show, Hughes seeks a hotter, happier world of sun, seam and sex, travelling to four continents, twenty-eight countries and playing for forty-one different teams. What results is a series of funny, acutely observed portraits of favourite faraway places, asking such probing questions as: why are Australians so pleased with themselves when they live in a vast, useless desert full of spiders? Why are New Zealanders always stoned? How can West Indians walk so slow and bowl so fast? And why, when England gave cricket to the rest of the world, is the rest of the world so much better than us?
