Evergreen in the game, too, is celebrating an England of green fields surely more emerald than ever was the case in life. Anthologies of cricket's gilded writings tend toward literary pedigree, such as All-Muggleton's jolly trouncing of Dingley Dell in Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers. Arthur Conan Doyle's Spedegue's Dropper has a schoolteacher bowling 50 feet upward for the ball to fall vertically onto the stumps. "How different would English summers be without slip fielders?" Jennie Walker's 24 for 3 contemplates. Screeds of it, in fact, with a curious abundance of thrillers and murder mysteries stretching from Dorothy Sayers' Oxford Blue amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey to Ted Dexter's Testkill.Īs is often the case with artistry, novelists tackle cricket in a manner one might not otherwise think up. There is more cricket fiction than is probably thought to exist. ![]()
