Each summer, up and down the country, thousands of men toil against cricketing adversity; namely a lack of talent, ill-fitting whites, and the vagaries of the British weather. Each year they ask themselves why they do it, and for want of a reasonable answer they plough on regardless, obsessing about averages and ignoring the laments of their cricket widows.
Calamity Cricket chronicles the misadventures of one such team as they reform for perhaps one last hurrah. It also takes an irreverent look at twenty years of the club's incidents and accidents, insults and injuries, which will strike a chord with anyone who has worked hard at convincing themselves that they can play cricket, no matter how old and slow they are.
