Cautionary Tales from the Pavilion: A Must-Read for Cricket Fans

By Gideon Haigh

Cricket is a sport that is often celebrated for its fair play and its紳士風度. But as Gideon Haigh argues in his new book, Cautionary Tales from the Pavilion, there is a darker side to the game.

Haigh's book is a collection of essays that explore some of the most controversial moments in cricket history, from the ball-tampering scandal that rocked Australian cricket in 2018 to the match-fixing allegations that have plagued the game for decades.
