The Final Over: The Cricketers of Summer 1914

Searched the forum for this title but didn't come up with anything so hopefully this info hasn't been posted on before, thought it might appeal to some: https://books.google.com/books?id=55nwAwAAQBAJ&pg=PP7&lpg=PP7&dq=the+final+over&source=bl&ots=_pP3I_R-6g&sig=b

Yes, I've read it, and it's quite good.

However, you might want to read page seven of this topic:

http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=210899&page=7

which gives a different (and quite valid) view of the book.

Yikes - when I searched for the title I did come across the thread (above) but I didn't read through to the end. The excerpt through Google Books sounded like a good read to me, but then, I know nothing about cricket! Thanks for pointing out the (numerous) flaws in the book.

I can't claim any credit at all for this .... thanks are due to Forum Pal Ajaxer for the work here!
