The Sticky Wicket Collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781791596705)

FREDDIE WATKINS is the manager of a diverse group of immigrants in America who play a British game - cricket. Their way of life is upended when local officials, responding to complaints about "outsiders" who play a foreign game nobody understands, reassign the cricket field to native-born Little Leaguers who play America's pastime - baseball. THE STICKY WICKET COLLECTION - Watkins At Bat, Watkins Fights Back, Watkins' Finest Inning, and Watkins' Overseas Tour - are linked stories about Watkins' inventiveness in dealing with a cricket-vs-baseball clash of cultures on the playing field, and in reconciling his two conflicting loves: his wife and cricket.
