Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ten years after his classic Rain Men - 'cricket's answer to Fever Pitch,' said the Daily Telegraph - Marcus Berkmann returns to the strange and wondrous 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. This time he's on the trail of the Ageing Cricketer, having suddenly realised that he is one himself and playing in a team with ten others every weekend. In their minds they run around the field as fast as ever; it's only their legs that let them down. ZIMMER MEN asks all the important questions of middle-aged cricketers. 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? Chronicling the 2004 season, with its many humiliating defeats and random injuries, this coruscatingly funny new book laughs in the face of middle age, and starts thinking seriously about buying a convertible. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR000825819

Zustand: As New. : En este divertido libro, Marcus Berkmann regresa al extraño y maravilloso mundo del cricket de pueblo, donde los jugadores se insultan entre sí, los árbitros luchan por contar hasta seis y el equipo que fildea después de un abundante té invariablemente pierde. Esta vez, sigue la pista del jugador de cricket envejecido, habiéndose dado cuenta de repente de que él mismo es uno y juega en un equipo con otros diez cada fin de semana. En sus mentes, corren por el campo tan rápido como siempre; son solo sus piernas las que les fallan. 'Zimmer Men' plantea todas las preguntas importantes de los jugadores de cricket de mediana edad. ¿Por qué esa cuerda de límite está de repente tan lejos? ¿Estás condenado a empeorar como jugador de cricket o podrías mejorar? ¿Cuántos pares de pantalones destruirá tu circunferencia en un verano? Crónica de la temporada 2004, con sus muchas derrotas humillantes y lesiones aleatorias, este libro, corrosivamente divertido, se ríe en la cara de la mediana edad y comienza a pensar seriamente en comprar un descapotable.
