{"product_id":"9781760639686","title":"The Grade Cricketer: Tea and No Sympathy","description":"'A sequel to\u003ci\u003e The Grade Cricketer\u003c\/i\u003e? It's like junk time in a second innings - something you just have to be part of.' Gideon Haigh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs life without cricket worth living? It's a question asked and answered by the Grade Cricketer, as he faces a cricket-free future after a devious plan goes horribly wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilarious, ridiculous and completely true to life to anyone who's ever spent time in a dressing room, \u003ci\u003eTea and No Sympathy\u003c\/i\u003e takes us on a skeweringly funny sporting misadventure through the world of grade cricket and the flawed, damaged and occasionally appalling people who play it, from the creators of the bestselling novel \u003ci\u003eThe Grade Cricketer\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Grade Cricketer\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e'\u003ci\u003eThe Grade Cricketer\u003c\/i\u003e is the finest tribute to a sport since Nick Hornby's\u003ci\u003e Fever Pitch\u003c\/i\u003e, and the best cricket book in yonks. It's belly-laughing funny but it's also a hymn to the grand and complex game delivered with a narrative pace and ability I'm afraid most Test players don't have. For anyone who ever dreamed of excelling at a sport but never quite made it but still gave it your life, this is the story. A great read!'
