It's Raining Bats and Pads (inbunden, eng)

It''s Raining Bats and Pads: The Story of Lancashire County Cricket Club 1988-1996 vividly captures the sporting and cultural landscape of the late 1980s to mid-90s, and shows the sea change between then and now. It''s a romantic jaunt through the halcyon days of Mike Atherton, Neil Fairbrother and Wasim Akram as seen through the eyes of the author, who as a child and young adult lived through that era.

It harks back to the glory days of lazy linseed summers when life was much simpler, time was not strictly of the essence and kids had to entertain themselves. Although primarily a tale of Lancashire''s success on the field - punctuated by some lively spectator incidents at the grounds - the book also explores broader societal questions.

Is the game in a better place now? Has the standard of cricket improved? Has freedom of choice caused the game''s popularity to fall among the young? And is the Hundred an allegory for a society that simply can''t wait for better?
