An insightful, Hawk-Eye-like analysis of the numbers behind cricket Financial Times
An engaging tour of the modern game from an award-winning journalist and the economist who co-authored the bestselling Soccernomics.
Why does England rely on private schools for their batters - but not their bowlers? How did demographics shape India s rise? Why have women often been the game s great innovators? Why does South Africa struggle to produce Black Test batters? And how does the weather impact who wins?
Crickonomics explores all of this and much more - including how Jayasuriya and Gilchrist transformed Test batting but T20 didn t; English cricket s great missed opportunity to have a league structure like football; why batters are paid more than bowlers; how Afghanistan is transforming German cricket; what the rest of the world can learn from New Zealand and even the Barmy Army s importance to Test cricket.
This incisive book will entertain and surprise all cricket lovers. It might even change how you watch the game.
