It gathers the graphic humour and anecdotes that Punch magazine devoted to cricket, seen as a symbol of rural England: village greens, blue skies and white flannels. Historical figures such as W. G. Grace and Ranjitsinhji appear, alongside women and foreigners baffled by the so-called «summer game».
Published in 2000 and written in English; the cover bears the subtitle «Smiles from the summer game...».
For cricket fans and enthusiasts of the history of British graphic humour, as well as those interested in the satire published by Punch.
