2.0

Cricket is notoriously complicated, until you figure out what's going on, of course. This is a good book to work out what everything means, particularly that mystifying product of the off-spinner, The Googly.

It's a fun book, but honestly you'd learn a lot more by sitting down and either listening to TMS or watching a game that is being commentated on, simply to get the context. Telling you what a googly is isn't helpful unless you know what an off-break is in the first place.
