"Cricket" by A. G. Steel and R. H. Lyttelton is a comprehensive examination of the sport of cricket, written in the late 19th century. This work, part of the Badminton Library series, explores various aspects of cricket, covering its history, techniques, and notable figures associated with the game, illustrating the progression of the sport over time. The main focus appears to be on the evolution of cricket's playing techniques and rules, making it suitable for both enthusiasts and practitioners of the game. The opening of the book begins with a historical overview of cricket, emphasizing its early origins and the various games that led to its development, such as stool-ball and rounders. Written by Andrew Lang, this section outlines cricket's first mentions and its evolution into a formal sport enjoyed by players and spectators alike. It touches on the rudimentary forms of the game, the influence of early cricketers, and how rules and styles of play have transformed from a boys' pastime to a competitive sport with deep cultural significance. The detailed analysis of cricket's initial history sets the stage for the various chapters to follow, which delve deeper into the technical aspects of batting, bowling, and captaincy among other topics.
