Description
Marcus Berkmann’s hilarious take on the life of an ageing cricketer and the world of village cricket, where players sledge their team-mates, umpires struggle to count up to six, the bails aren’t on straight and the team that fields after a hefty tea invariably loses. The Zimmer Men asks all the important questions of middle-aged cricketers, such as Why is that boundary rope suddenly so far away? Are you doomed to getting worse as a cricketer, or could you get better? How many pairs of trousers will your girth destroy in one summer? The Sunday Telegraph called Berkmann’s previous book Rain Men “cricket’s answer to Fever Pitch” and the same paper called this one “A dazzlingly entertaining volume”. This is the paperback edition in excellent condition.
