Annotation

Every weekend a team of middle-aged blokes come together to play cricket. They are mates with families and jobs, and they all have a story to tell. William makes each one a king as he brings them and their loved ones vividly and hilariously to life in CRICKET KINGS.

Publisher Description

Step into the lives of a team of regular middle-aged men who meet each week to play cricket in their local park. They don't seem to be extraordinary - they are just like the rest of us - but like everyone, they each have a story to tell.
