  Mention cricket and some still think of the gentle game played on a village green in England, where leather thuds against willow, slumbering spectators mutter `Good shot, sir` and church bells toll in the middle distance…But this cricket - and that England - is as outdated as the idea of Empire, and the game today is as much about cable television, huge crowds at one-day internationals in Mumbai or Islamabad, or floodlit Twenty20 games timed to maximise broadcast advertisng revenue. Bringing together leading writers on cricket and society, this important new book places cricket in the postcolonial life of the major Test-playing countries, exploring the culture, politics, governance and economics of cricket in the twenty-first century. It covers - Cricket in the new Commonwealth: in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, the Caribbean and India - The cricket cultures of Australia, New Zealand and post-apartheid South Africa - Cricket in England since the 1950s Cricket and National Identity in the Postcolonial Age is an original political and historical study of the game`s development in a range of countries. Ideal for students of sport, politics, history and postcolonialism, it provides accessible and stimulating discussion of the major issues, including race, migration, globalisation, neoliberal economics, religion and sectarianism and the media.
