The defining collection of cricketing miscellany from the pre-eminent cricket humourist
Marcus Berkmann Bücher
Marcus Berkmann ist bekannt für seine humorvollen Beobachtungen des Alltags. Sein Schreiben, das sich oft auf Themen wie Cricket, Kneipenquizze und das Älterwerden konzentriert, zeichnet sich durch trockenen Witz und sarkastische, aber liebevolle Einblicke aus. Er seziert mit unerschütterlicher Präzision die Details sozialer Gepflogenheiten und Routinen und deckt deren inhärente Absurdität auf. Die Leser werden seine Fähigkeit schätzen, Komik im Alltäglichen zu finden und sie mit einer einzigartig britischen Sensibilität zu präsentieren.
The most hilarious book ever written about amateur cricket.

The pains of the ageing cricketer revealed in the hilarious sequel to RAIN MEN (about the appalling Captain Scott Invitation XI - named after the model of heroic failure).
For many men, middle age arrives too fast and without due warning. One day you are young, free and single; the next you are all washed up, and have weird tendrils of hair growing out of your ears. Marcus Berkmann isn't having it. Having marked a Significant Birthday by hiding under a duvet for six weeks, the author of the classic Rain Men finds some light in the all-consuming darkness. 'We may have lost our hair, our waistline or our way completely. But we have also gained a certain amount of guile and what some might call "gravitas" (and others world call "weight").'
