Wicket Men

Tony Hannan spent what turned out to be the penultimate Minor Counties campaign in the company of Cumberland CCC, and as goes with such terrain, it's a story of ups, downs and one or two surprises. The Wicket Men draws stumps on one small but fascinating aspect of a pastime whose arcane rhythms and rituals are rooted in English folk tradition.

Tony Hannan a petrecut ceea ce sa dovedit a fi penultima campanie a judetelor minore in compania Cumberland CCC si, asa cum se intampla cu un astfel de teren, este o poveste de urcari, coborari si una sau doua surprize. The Wicket Men atrage butucuri pe un aspect mic, dar fascinant, al unei distractii ale carui ritmuri si ritualuri arcane sunt inradacinate in traditia populara engleza.
