*CHARTING THE RISE AND FALL OF FIRST-CLASS CRICKET: WHAT COMES NEXT?‘A remarkable account of cricket’s fascinating journey from its origins ... to the present day.’ Ehsan Mani, former President of the ICCIn its early forms in the 18th century, cricket was a commercial entertainment, a vehicle for gambling alongside cock-fighting or wrestling.
In the Victorian era, the sport was recreated as a means of keeping order in England’s public schools and increasingly allied with ideas of virtue and manliness. Exported by empire loyalists, cricket took root across the globe – thriving in some countries, indelibly linked with racism and colonialism in others.
From Australia to the Caribbean to Afghanistan, Oborne and Heller explore cricket’s expansion and its later role in decolonisation, education and politics. They argue that in recent years the game – dominated by the wealth and scale of franchise cricket – has come full circle, less a sport than a commercial enterprise once more.
In consequence, they believe it is in crisis. As big money has taken over the game, is cricket losing its integrity and meaning?Comprehensive in scope and drawing on contemporary scholarship, this masterful account is an essential read for cricket fans everywhere. Praise for Full Circle ‘A proper, meaty history, independent in perspective, global in its sweep and trenchant in its judgements.’ Gideon Haigh ‘A truly global history of cricket, that draws on a wide range of sources and is itself elegantly written.’ Ramachandra Guha, author of The Commonwealth of Cricket‘[An] encyclopaedic journey through the history of the game.’ Fazeer Mohammed, cricket commentator and journalist
