Become a cricket convert
This book really explains the romance of cricket which one really cannot understand without seeing the origins of the obese, middle-aged who go misty eyed at the sights, sounds and smells of bat and willow.

Would you listen to Fatty Batter again? Why?
I have listened to this book more than once enjoying it each time
What was one of the most memorable moments of Fatty Batter?
