This heart warming adventure will take you from the tranquil English countryside to the hallowed turf of the MCG.

Meet Richard - a cricket-mad Australian, who embarks on a new career as an umpire, and a subsequent journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Often forced to confront his own preconceptions about a game he loves, Richard finds himself captivated by the skill and talent of some of the best female cricketers in the world, and his entire outlook on life changes forever.

Entertaining and funny throughout, Stumped is a wonderful tribute to the game of cricket and a book you won't want to put down.
