About this ebook
Through the medium of a cricket match the author endeavours to give a glimpse of life in a Sussex village. First we have a bird's-eye view at dawn of the village nestling under the Downs then we see the players awaken in all widely different circumstance of their various lives, pass the morning, assemble on the field, play their game, united for a few hours, as men should be, by a common purpose - and at night disperse.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Cricket Match tells the story of a small rural country town in England between the world wars and the cricket match between this town (Tillingford) and a rival team (Raveley). We are introduced to the characters one by one and how they feel about the game in the morning of the match followed by what happens during the afternoon match. You do not have to like cricket to get something from this book. Anyone could recognise the ups and downs and tension known from any local sporting event. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the time portrayed and the how the whole book was structured.
