Penguins Stopped Play: Eleven Cricketers Take on the World

Has anyone read this? It sounds quite good, and is written by the late Harry Thompson who died last year. Thompson, whose obituary feature s in this year’s Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, was a cricket lover and comedian (comedic writer).

He either co-wrote, produced or directed a number of the UK’s comedy staple diet: Have I Got News For You, Newman and Baddiel in Pieces, They Think It’s All Over, Harry Enfield and Chums, The 11 O’Clock Show, Da Ali G Show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Monkey Dust. What a repetoire, and I happen to have loved every single one of those (apart from Monkey Dust).

Anyway, this book looks really good and worth buying.
