Do you know a grubber from a yorker? Can you identify the golden rules of slip and outfield catching? How does a batter recover from the dreaded royal duck? And where on earth do players find room for all those teas?

In this official Test Match Special book, cricket legend and TMS commentator Ebony Rainford-Brent takes you on a whirlwind tour of the greatest game in the world. How to Read Cricket offers an entertaining and witty guide to everything from amazing stats and skills analysis to the game's uniquely joyous culture, its stand-out players, greatest grounds and dodgiest pitches. Along the way, there are plenty of anecdotes from Ebony’s extraordinary career, as well as her top tactical and leadership tips. Whether you’re new to cricket or a seasoned pro, How to Read Cricket has it all plus a story or two to tell.
