  • Summary

  • Cricket is the best sport and has the best cliches. In Ahead of the Eight Ball, failed sports journalist Dave Tickner and failed comedian Mick Tickner dissect every single one of those clichés, from behind the eight ball to tracer bullets via heavy balls and big bats, in painstaking detail whether you like it or not.
