The first of its kind for any sport in South Africa: a cricket love story of epic dimensions, full of sometimes shocking details. Reaching beyond whites-only mainstream histories to integrate at every stage and in every region the experiences of black, as well as women, players. In this book and its sequels, the authors reveal how racism came to be built into the very fabric of South African cricket's culture and traditions, and how the sport was tied to the broader historical processes that shaped the country.
