Cricket's Global Warming: The Crisis in Cricket

Is international cricket facing its own 'global warming' moment, a crisis that's attacking its very core?

That's the question posed by Glenn Turner and co-author Lynn McConnell in this insightful insider's account.

In the rush to commercialise and expand the game, the authors suggest, it's been turned into a 'product', and burdened by a class of amateur administrators pulling it in a direction that's increasingly at odds with the needs of the game -- including the first-class game on which the whole edifice rests.

This book shows how these problems are playing out in New Zealand cricket, but those in other cricketing nations will see a lot in common with their own experience of the game.

A probing mix of anecdotes, analysis and forthright criticism of the game and its administration from one of cricket's most successful and widely experienced players.
