«Cricket's Strangest Matches» is Andrew Ward's book about curious matches in cricket history, published by Robson Books Ltd in paperback (320 pages, in English).
It collects true stories of cricket's most unusual matches, some surprising and others frankly hilarious. Among the cases gathered are a match played on ice, one in which two professionals faced eleven amateurs, and another in which both teams were eliminated without scoring a single run. It also includes matches with one-armed players against one-legged players and a comeback in which the last batsman scored 163 runs.
It is part of the Strangest series, dedicated to collecting unusual anecdotes from different sports.
Recommended for cricket fans and for readers interested in the history of sport through real and curious cases.
