And that's another theme that comes through in so many cricket books, isn't it?
Is cricket's on the verge of death always and it needs to be revived somehow.
I mean, it's been on the verge of death since it started, from what I can gather.
David Griffiths' favourite is Australian Summer, the test matches of 36-37 by Neville Cardus when...
Quizzling traitor Gubby Allen went down to Australia, won the first two tests.
But because the Australians were so upset at having lost in 32-3 through perfectly legitimate tactics from Surrey legend Douglas Jardine and Harold Larwood from these parts, no one was allowed to bowl a bouncer for three months.
And Australia came roaring back with a 3-2 win.
Richard Morton has just read Ben Bloom's Batting for Time.
There's a book.
that tackles the existential crisis in cricket.
And you get quite a few of those.
They're not really social histories like, say, Derek Burley's or Markersey's, anyone but England.
But they're ones that are kind of trying to point out that
We need to do something.
We need to be vigilant.
That's the kind of type of book that appears a fair bit.
Yes, it does.
Yeah, I've read that book.
It's very interesting.
Yeah, I mean, as you say, cricket's been in crisis since it started, hasn't it?
