Summary: A book which delivers what it promises
Comment: As a beer and cricket lover I was keen to get my hands on a copy of this book and was not disappointed when I did so.
The book begins with a section on the development of modern cricket at Hambledon and the role of the Bat & Ball pub in this. It then takes the reader on a guided tour of all the First Class County cricket grounds, providing details of location and how to get there. A description and history of each ground is given, with pubs often taking an important role in the latter. Each ground is also given a `great feats' box recognising the record breaking performances of individuals and teams at the venue. For the beer loving cricket fan, the icing on the cake is the details of recommended real ale outlets in the proximity of the ground. Other grounds used by the county sides also get a mention, again with recommended pubs.
The book rounds off with a brief explanation of real ale for cricket lovers that need educating. All in all this is a book that is packed with interesting and useful information and beautifully illustrated throughout.
