Graeme Swann The Ashes: It's All About The Urn: England Vs. Australia: Ultimate Cricket Rivalry
Lafeltrinelli.it
Spedizione: 2.7 EUR
Brand: Graeme Swann
EAN:
9781473670853Categoria: Libri e riviste
Shortlisted for Cricket Book of the Year at the British Sports Book Awards\n\nGraeme Swann leads us on a compelling adventure through one of world sport's most engrossing rivalries. He knows as much as anybody about the heat of England v Australia battles, having played in three series wins and also the whitewash defeat of 2013-14 when its intensity ended his international career. However, it brought out some of his best displays in Test cricket. \n\nBut he is just one of dozens of colourful characters to have added their chapters to this great tome. The mock obituary of English cricket in the Sporting Times of 1882 was the forerunner of summers and winters of heaven and hell, depending on which side of the divide you were situated. When it comes to on-field relations nothing quite compares to the over-my-dead-body feel of the Ashes.\n\nFrom Grace to Sir Don, the most graceful of them all. From the foulest play to the fairest - contrast the 1932-33 Bodyline series affair to the image of Andrew Flintoff hunched over a distraught Brett Lee in 2005. From Ray Illingworth's famous walk-off in the Seventies, when an England team-mate was assaulted by a spectator, to Steve Waugh's hugely emotional lap of honour when he retired a quarter of a century later. Swann's book will reveal the magic of a series that first gripped him in his front room in Northampton as an aspiring spin bowler in the mid-1980s.

Decolonizing Sport

Spedizione: 2.7 EUR

Decolonizing Sport tells the stories of sport colonizing Indigenous Peoples and of Indigenous Peoples using sport to decolonize. Spanning several lands - Turtle Island, the US, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Kenya - the authors demonstrate the two sharp edges of sport in the history of colonialism. Colonizers used sport, their own and Indigenous recreational activities they appropriated, as part of the process of dispossession of land and culture. Indigenous mascots and team names, hockey at residential schools, lacrosse and many other examples show the subjugating force of sport. Yet, Indigenous Peoples used sport, playing their own games and those of the colonizers, including hockey, horse racing and fishing, and subverting colonial sport rules as liberation from colonialism. This collection stands apart from recent publications in the area of sport with its focus on Indigenous Peoples, sport and decolonization, as well as in imagining a new way forward.

Timothy Abraham;james Coyne Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion: A Cricket Odyssey Through Latin America
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Timothy Abraham;james Coyne
EAN:
9781472132529Categoria: Libri e riviste
A highly entertaining read, deftly melding social history with sporting memoir and travelogue Mail on Sunday\n\nA history of Latin America through cricket\n\nCricket was the first sport played in almost every country of the Americas - earlier than football, rugby or baseball. In 1877, when England and Australia played the inaugural Test match at the MCG, Uruguay and Argentina were already ten years into their derby played across the River Plate.\n\nThe visionary cricket historian Rowland Bowen said that, during the highpoint of cricket in South America between the two World Wars, the continent could have provided the next Test nation. In Buenos Aires, where British engineers, merchants and meatpackers flocked to make their fortune, the standard of cricket was high: towering figures like Lord Hawke and Plum Warner took star-studded teams of Test cricketers to South America, only to be beaten by Argentina. A combined Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean team took on the first-class counties in England in 1932. The notion of Brazilians and Mexicans playing T20 at the Maracana or the Azteca today is not as far-fetched as it sounds.\n\nBut Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion is also a social history of grit, industry and nation-building in the New World. West Indian fruit workers battled yellow fever and brutal management to carve out cricket fields next to the railway lines in Costa Rica. Cricket was the favoured sport of Chile's Nitrate King. Emperors in Brazil and Mexico used the game to curry favour with Europe. The notorious Pablo Escobar even had a shadowy connection to the game. The fate of cricket in South America was symbolised by Eva Peron ordering the burning down of the Buenos Aires Cricket Club pavilion when the club refused to hand over their premises to her welfare scheme.\n\nCricket journalists Timothy Abraham and James Coyne take us on a journey to discover this largely untold story of cricket's fate in the world's most colourful continent. Fascinating and surprising, Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion is a valuable addition to cricketing and social history.

Alex Blackwell lived and breathed our national sport of cricket for thirty years.\n\nStarting as a kid, she spent her childhood and teen years on the field with her identical twin, Kate, who was equally devoted to the bat and ball. While both sisters went on to represent Australia, Alex built a 15-year career in the green and gold, eventually rising to the captaincy, notching up an eye-watering list of sporting achievements and etching her name into cricket's history.\n\nBut life off the field brought challenges of its own. From her professional debut, Alex was unafraid to call out hypocrisy and go in to battle against the traditional hierarchies of the game. Speaking out and becoming a passionate advocate for women and LGBTQI people in sport won her many fans and much respect, but it didn't come without a price.\n\nFair Game is the unmissable account of life and leadership inside Australia's most loved sporting team, told by one of its most capped players of all time. This is the story of the sacrifices and victories, the extreme highs and devastating lows, that come with playing sport at the highest level, and of what it takes to be truly courageous on and off the field.

Marco Pastonesi La Meta Più Bella Della Storia. Il Rugby, Il Galles, Gareth E I Suoi Fratelli

Brand: Marco Pastonesi

Il rugby sarà anche nato in Inghilterra, cresciuto in Australia, fortificato in Sud Africa, eccitato in Francia, sublimato in Nuova Zelanda, si sarà abbronzato a Figi, Samoa e Tonga, ma è e rimarrà lo sport del Galles. Qui la vera Nazionale è quella di rugby, e al confronto le altre, calcio compreso, svaniscono. Gli eroi nazionali sono quelli del rugby: Gareth Edwards - che con i Barbarians segnò «la meta più bella della Storia» nella leggendaria partita contro gli All Blacks a Cardiff nel 1973 -, come Giuseppe Garibaldi, e i suoi fratelli, JPR Williams come Tazio Nuvolari, Barry John come Fausto Coppi, Nigel Owens come Concetto Lo Bello. Ogni volta che una squadra gallese gioca, è come se uscisse da un cunicolo, venisse alla luce, risalisse sotto il cielo aperto da una miniera: un'ascesa, o meglio, un'ascensione. E ogni giorno in cui il Galles gioca al Millennium, la basilica di San Pietro del rugby, è il Giubileo. Questo libro è dedicato a tutti gli appassionati di rugby e anche a chi è attratto dalle grandi storie di dedizione, coraggio, ribellione, gioia che solo lo sport può dare. Un viaggio dentro il mito del rugby, attraverso il racconto dei club di culto e non, dei campioni, degli stadi, dei tifosi, delle mete segnate e delle azioni fallite.
