First XI
Price: $2.85 USD. Words: 31,260. Language: English. Published: November 9, 2015 by Mereo Books. Categories: Fiction » Anthologies » Short stories - single author
These short stories emerge from years of travelling to watch cricket around the world. Most of them are pure fiction - a streaker at Lord’s, the funeral of an old native Australian cricketer, a murder in Auckland. They are linked together by the world of cricket and projected with pace, guile and a hint of spin.
