More than 140 selections from noted authors present a multi-faceted portrait of both the significance of cricket to the Caribbean and the attraction of Caribbean cricket to the world outside. The poems, calypsos, stories, novel extracts, essays, speeches, and journalistic pieces included all attest to the power of cricket, whether in the global field of play or in the fields of the village or sugar estate. This anthology celebrates the individuals who forged an art out of the game and transformed a colonial sport into the cutting edge of Caribbean nationalism and forever changed the nature of the game.
