AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sledging, ball tampering, refusing to walk – they’re just not cricket as far as Nick Pearce is concerned. But then neither are the team-mates he meets when he signs up with his father’s old club. Whoever heard of a goth spin bowler for one thing? Nick wants to keep the spirit of cricket alive, but who’s going to support him? What about the guy at the Bradman museum, or his teacher, or maybe the bloke who sprang the tough questions on him in the cricket chat room? To make things worse, Nick’s own father seems to be part of the group who think sledging’s an Aussie art form, and wheere do you start when it comes to trying to change your own dad?'
