We've been swallowing the myth for years; that cricket is a gentlemanly pursuit, where bad luck is something to be borne stoically, and bad behavior is poor form that will get you drummed out of the club. This is plainly nonsense. Worst of Cricket is a warts-and-all celebration of that truth with twelve chapters covering a different worst (including amongst others the worst umpiring decisions, the worst tantrums, the worst riots, the worst gamesmanship, worst confrontations, the worst upsets, the worst mistakes and the worst off-field behaviour) and giving eleven worst examples - and a slightly irreverent worst twelfth man. There's the umpire who upheld a timed-out appeal against a rheumatically-challenged batsman for creeping agonisingly to the wicket; the fielder who impaled himself on the pavilion gates; the man who rolled the pitch and triggered a riot; and of course Ian Botham provides the sex, the drugs and the rock-n-roll-style dressing-room trashings!
