White Trousers and No Balls - Rob Baldwin

White Trousers is a guide to cricket survival in the white heat of dressing room banter and pub chat. It shows how respect can be earned, bantering mastered and local talent impressed. This is a book that will change cricket and sex lives alike. White Trousers reveals strategies for talking, dressing, batting, bowling and fielding that will avoid the humiliations that are so familiar to cricketers. It shows how 'pro-talk' and the language of the professional cricketer will allow the village player to walk tall in the Royal Oak and it deals with the ultimate test of the village cricketer's character - the tour. Village cricketers have to be as interested in survival as any red squirrel or endangered fish. Cricketers live in a jungle, just like them, and this book shows the way to come out on top.
