Game for Anything

Writings on cricket

Cricket is serious fun. And no-one writes about cricket with deeper knowledge or greater flair than Gideon Haigh. Game for Anything collects his best work of the last decade: from probing the Bradman myth and evaluating C.L.R. James to celebrating Len Pascoe and suffering being hit for six. To cricket's recent torments - match-fixing, throwing, sledging, politics - he brings fresh insights and an irreverent wit. Game for Anything is a book as rich as the game it describes: grand, humble, funny, sad, sublime, ridiculous.



Gideon Haigh

Gideon Haigh is the author of many books, including Silent Revolutions, Game for Anything, The Green and Golden Age and All Out: the Ashes 2006-07. According to Private Eye, 'Haigh writes as originally as anyone on the game.' Wisden Cricketer describes him as 'one of the great modern cricket writers.'
