Perry Sam - The Grade Cricketer - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Welcome to the world of The Grade Cricketer. Described as the most original voice in cricket this book represents the fading hopes and dreams of every ageing amateur sportsman. In this tell - all 'autobiography' the book describes his cricketing career with unflinching honesty and plenty of humour in turn providing insights into the hyper - masculine cricket 'dressing room'. This one - time junior prodigy is now experiencing the lean increasingly existential years of adult cricket. Here he learns quickly that one will need more than just runs and wickets to make it in the alpha - dominated grade cricket jungle where blokes like Nuggsy Bruiser Deeks and Robbo reign supreme. Through it all The Grade Cricketer lays bare his deepest insecurities - - his relationship with Dad his fleeting romances outside the cricket club - and in turn we witness a gentle maturation; a slow realisation that perhaps just maybe there is more to life than hitting 50 not out in third grade and enjoying a few celebratory beers afterwards. Or is there? The book is based upon the popular Twitter account gradecricketer which has received critical acclaim for its frighteningly honest portrayal of amateur cricket. Now the time has finally come for this middling amateur sportsman to tell his story in full.
