The Laugh's on Us: Cricket's Finest Tell Their Funniest (Cartoons by Jeff Hook)
Cricket. Yes, it really is a funny game. A very serious business, but a funny game nonetheless. On the one hand, it conjures up visions of furrowed brows, stiff upper lips and straight bats; on the other, it has produced an ongoing cavalcade of characters who have provided many of sport's most hilarious moments.
The Laugh's on Us is the most comprehensive collection of cricketing anecdotes ever assembled. The 38 contributing authors are identities of the game representing seven countries. A diverse lot with one thing in common: they really know how to tell a story.
If you think cricket is merely a dour matter of winning or losing, The Laugh's on Us will surprise you. It will certainly amuse you.
Cricket is full of glorious uncertainties. The glorious certainty is that this book is the funniest of its kind.
